Nihal Sarin breaks silence on rejecting Magnus Carlsen's viral draw offer: ‘I saw the opportunity, but in that moment…'
It was a dream for Nihal Sarin to face Magnus Carlsen in a chess match, and it came true at the recently held Esports World Cup chess tournament. The 21-year-old, considered to be one of the best in faster formats, faced Carlsen in the quarter-finals in a highly anticipated showdown. If the match had taken place a few years ago, one would have predicted an easy win for the Norwegian. But in 2025, fans have seen a new rivalry emerge for the 34-year-old, against the new generation of Indian Grandmasters. He has been beaten twice by Gukesh this year, once in classical at Norway Chess, then in the rapid format in Zagreb. He lost to R Praggnanandhaa in the Las Vegas Freestyle Chess Grand Slam. Nihal Sarin and Magnus Carlsen during the Esports World Cup. Against Nihal, the quarter-final started on a nervy note for Carlsen. The first game saw both players eke out a draw, and then it was Carlsen who struck first. In the second game, he managed to clinch a win, taking a lead. Despite losing the second game, it looked like the Indian GM could still stage a comeback, considering his strengths. But then the third game was a complete whitewash as Carlsen eased past his opponent to qualify for the semi-finals. Nihal Sarin reflects on his match against Magnus Carlsen Speaking to Hindustan Times, Sarin, who is also a chess prodigy, gave some insight into his quarter-final match in Riyadh. 'In the first game, I tried my best to stay cool and play normally. He put a lot of pressure on me towards the end, but I managed to defend and hold the draw,' he said. In the first game, it looked like both players were playing on an equal level. But then the tide shifted midway through the second game, and the third was a perfect example of why Carlsen is considered by many to be the greatest chess player of all time. 'In the second game, I actually felt I started quite well and maybe even slightly outplayed him at one point. The turning point came when I made a couple of mistakes, first playing Bishop to B3 instead of taking the pawn on E5, and then following it up with another error. Against someone like Magnus, you rarely get a second chance once you're off track. He is incredibly precise when it comes to converting even the smallest advantages,' he further added. A moment from the second game also went viral on social media, where Nihal could have taken a draw. But he rejected a draw by repetition offer from his opponent, who simply smiled in response. 'I saw the opportunity, but in that moment, I felt the position was still worth playing on. I wasn't looking to settle and wanted to take my chances to try and create something. In hindsight, Magnus navigated it better and turned things around, but I think it was the kind of decision you sometimes have to take in a match like this. You fight, and you learn,' said the 21-year-old. At the Esports World Cup, Nihal was representing S8UL as chess made its debut in the event. and the ESports World Cup have signed a three-year partnership until 2027, which will see the sport in the next edition too. 'I've never experienced anything like the Esports World Cup before. It is very different from traditional chess tournaments and has been one of the best experiences of my life. The love and support that S8UL and their fanbase gave me is something I'll never forget. They took care of me in every way possible, believed in me, and supported me throughout. I've learned a lot from this run and I'm motivated to come back stronger next year,' he further added.

'Gambhir told him, 'I won't push you...': ‘Pissed off' India player's emotional call to dad after England snub revealed
When Abhimanyu Easwaran was overlooked for the series opener in Leeds this June against England—despite impressing in the two India A games preceding the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy—his chances of breaking into the XI looked bleak. As the series progressed, the rising chatter among experts advocating for his inclusion gradually died down. But Easwaran believed his long wait might finally end at The Oval. India head coach Gautam Gambhir looks on during practice (Action Images via Reuters) A spate of injuries had suddenly hit the Indian camp. Following the draw in Manchester, the fourth Test, India had a real chance to avoid a series defeat in London, prompting the team management to explore different combinations for the playing XI. But much to his bitter frustration, Easwaran was denied again. It left him "pissed off," his father Ranganathan Parameshwaran Easwaran revealed in a conversation with Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel. But only for a short while. Disclosing details of their telephonic chat after the final Test snub, Ranganathan said his son quickly shifted focus to the upcoming Duleep Trophy, refusing to let the setback derail his long-term dream. "My son will fly to Bengaluru to prepare for the Duleep Trophy. He'll spend 10-12 days there, return to Dehradun for a few days, and then head back. He was disturbed after not being picked for the fifth Test—he was expecting that call. I told him, 'Son, you have lived your dream.' He replied, 'I understand. I've lived my dream for 23 years, and not getting picked for one or two matches won't shatter that.'" Pressed further about the call, Ranganathan added: "He was pissed off because he wasn't picked. When I called him, he said, 'Dad, I still haven't found a place.'" Easwaran discloses Gambhir chat Ranganathan also revealed that despite the heartbreak in England of not getting selected, what has kept his son motivated has been his chat with head coach Gautam Gambhir, who has assured him of an opportunity in the Indian team and that he would get a longer rope when he makes his debut and won't be judged instantly based on 1-2 games. "Gautam Gambhir, when he spoke to my son, he assured him see you you're doing the right kind of things you'll get your turn you'll get a long run. 'I'm not the one who will push you out after one or two matches. I'll give you a long rope.' That's what my son communicated to me. The entire coaching team assured him that he'll get his due, he'll get his long run. That's the best I can say. My son is waiting for 4 years, He's put in 23 years of hard work," Ranganathan added.
