FTX Crypto Cup 1: Carlsen, Pragg, Aronian & Duda win

Magnus Carlsen summed up Round 1 of the FTX Crypto Cup with “we played really, really fighting games”. He lived dangerously for two games before beating Anish Giri 3:1, and there were also hard-fought victories for Praggnanandhaa, who defeated Alireza Firouzja 2.5:1.5, and Levon Aronian, who beat Liem Le by the same scoreline. The one blowout saw Jan-Krzysztof Duda defeat Hans Niemann 3:0 after the young US star never recovered from a technical glitch.
