Carlsen to fight for third place after wins over Arjun and Praggnanandhaa
Last Updated: Las Vegas (USA), Jul 20 (PTI) World number one Magnus Carlsen found his rhythm back, defeating Arjun Erigaisi 2-0 and R Praggnanandhaa 3-1 in the Freestyle chess Grand Slam, which is drawing to a close here. With Hans Moke Niemann taking on his American counterpart Levon Aronian in the finals, Carlsen set up a clash with world number two American Hikaru Nakamura for the third place in the USD 750,000 prize money event. It turned out to be an eventful two matches for Carlsen who was earlier denied the chance to win the event by Praggnanadhaa. The Indian started off with another victory against the world's best in the first game of their mini-match. The Norwegian struck back in the return game and won the next set of games to find himself back in the event. In his next match, Arjun enjoyed some opening advantage in the first game but could not hold it together while in the second Carlsen proved superior again. In the other matches slated on the final day, Arjun will meet Fabiano Caruana of United States for the fifth-place play-off while Praggnanandhaa will have to fight for the seventh place against another American Wesley So. By his own admission, Nakamura said he was lucky. Winning 1.5-0.5 against Wesley So, Nakamura defeated Fabiano Caruana 3-1 in a match that saw fortunes fluctuating more than a few times. On the final day, all eyes will be Niemann who is the lowest ranked player in the last-8 stage and is fighting for the prize purse of USD 200,000 against comeback king Aronian. Match 2: Arjun Erigaisi (Ind) lost to Carlsen; Nakamura beat Fabiano Caruana (Usa) 3-1. Line ups for the finale: Final: Hans Moke Niemann (USA) vs Levon Aronian (USA) 3-4 place: Carlsen vs Nakamura 5-6 place: Arjun vs Caruana 7-8 place: Praggnanandhaa vs Wesley.

IND vs ENG: Muddled batting display costs India in rain-hit Lord's ODI as England level series
In a 29-over innings, where they would have been better served treating it as an extended T20, India missed a trick in selection and also never really got a rhythm going in their batting effort at Lord's on Saturday. England, after asking India to bat, managed to restrict Harmanpreet Kaur's side to 143/8. In response, England were cruising towards the target when a spell of rain after 18.4 overs threatened to stop their charge to an easy win with 8 balls still needed to constitute a complete game. But the players got back out after a delay, with the innings further reduced to 24 hours, and England got the required runs in time (116/2) to level the ODI series 1-1 with one match left to play. The first ball of the match, after all the hours waiting for the start of play, said a story. It was the juiciest of full tosses from Lauren Bell, and India opener Pratika Rawal gently tapped it straight to a fielder on the off side. It is not always easy to get warmed up straight away after a delayed start, to get the blood flow going, but that tame start somewhat set the tone for India's powerplay, which, ironically, lacked any power. Pratika was quickly dismissed in the second over after finding fielders with a few more of her shots, then Harleen Deol came in at No 3 and once again was slow to get off the blocks. With just six overs of field restrictions, India managed just 25/1. And this, despite England getting off to a sloppy start too with their bowling and fielding. When England's spinners came on and tightened the screws, India lost further momentum. Harleen and Jemimah Rodrigues were softly caught and bowled either side of a frenetic innings from Harmanpreet; the captain could have been dismissed about three times in her 9-ball stay in the middle before eventually getting bowled by an arm-ball from Sophie Ecclestone. Richa Ghosh again looked uncomfortable during her brief knock and India were reduced to 72/5. Only Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma batted with any degree of fluency and added respectability to India's total. But the latter was guilty of making poor decisions late on, with confused running between the wickets putting lower-order bat Kranti Goud on strike for the entire penultimate over. Not that it would have mattered in the end result, but it summed up India's batting performance. 'We didn't bat well today, we could have done better on this pitch. They bowled well, and they didn't give us a chance to execute our plans. We were not able to show up with good batting,' Harmanpreet said. 'Toss was important under overcast conditions; it wasn't easy to bat early on but we fought well to set a decent total. Then we weren't able to bowl well and get early wickets. Unfortunately, we made a lot of mistakes and we have a lot of learnings.' In the chase, England were always in control, showing better intent than India in the powerplay and getting away a few early boundaries. India did manage to keep things tight once the fielding instructions eased but they needed a few wickets in clusters, which never really came. It was a throwback to another controversial moment at Lord's between India and England in a women's ODI that took place in September 2022. Just under three years from an incident that divided the cricketing world, when Deepti ran out Charlie Dean at the non-striker's end to bring an end to a dramatic run-chase, India had an appeal turned down for Obstructing the Field against England opener Tammy Beaumont. The batter was returning back to the crease after deciding against taking a quick single but after reaching the crease, gestured as if she was kicking the ball away. The play was still alive, India appealed and did have a strong case as per the letter of law but the third umpire ruled it not out.

Jaideep Ahlawat's dance moves on Kapil Sharma's show leave fans stunned: ‘He's got the lachak'
Actor Jaideep Ahlawat took the audience by surprise when he delivered an amazing dance performance in his latest film, Jewel Thief. Recently, on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Jaideep grooved to a song along with Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda, only to leave the internet stunned once again. Impressed by his moves, many fans have praised Jaideep, pointing out how he has the rhythm of a 'natural dancer'. On the latest episode of Kapil Sharma's show, Jaideep Ahlawat was seen with Vijay Varma, Pratik Gandhi, and Jitendra Kumar. Even fellow actor Vijay Varma looked impressed with Jaideep's performance. Lauding his dance moves, a fan on the internet said, 'Ironically, he was a dancer since his FTII days and before. He never got a chance to dance, even in the film whose promotional song made him famous as a dancer.' Also Read: Jaideep Ahlawat recalls living with 6 people in 1BHK during struggle; Jitendra Kumar says he quit acting 3 months after coming to Mumbai: 'We all would just lay together in the hall' Jaideep Ahlawat out here dancing like a dream… seriously, is there anything this man can't pull off? byu/Chai_Lijiye inBollyBlindsNGossip Another user wrote, 'Dude is rocking it out there, he's got the lachak (rhythm) of a proper – dare I say natural – dancer.' A third fan commented, 'See, this is what people miss about choreography these days. It's not about the complex steps, but the feeling of you grooving as well while watching the actors enjoy themselves. You can just see that the man is having fun.' Around Jewel Thief's release, Jaideep Ahlawat grabbed attention for his dance moves, something the audience had never seen before. He had also spoken about it at the event's trailer launch and said, 'I don't know why people are so surprised to see me dance. I am from Haryana and have danced in lots of ghudchadis (wedding processions). Dancing is okay.' A post shared by The Great Indian Kapil Show Only On Netflix (@thegreatindiankapilshow) Jaideep Ahlawat will be next seen in Ikkis, and he will also feature in Shah Rukh Khan's King. Talking about the same, Jaideep had said in an interview, 'From what I have learned, SRK sir was thinking about this for quite some time. But Siddharth was a little skeptical, because it's a small role to offer after Jewel Thief. But Khan saab said he will talk to me, now who can say no to him?'

Unless ChatGPT-5 gets these upgrades, I'm sticking with Claude — here's why
OpenAI is gearing up to launch ChatGPT-5, its most ambitious model yet. Rumored to feature a massive context window, enhanced reasoning, agent-like autonomy and full multimodal capability, it could mark a turning point in AI development. But as someone who tests and uses AI tools daily, I've already found my rhythm with Claude 4 Sonnet and Claude 4 Opus. And unless GPT-5 brings some serious upgrades to the table, I'm not switching anytime soon. Here's why Claude still feels like the better AI assistant, and what GPT-5 needs to do to win me over. Claude's strength lies in its ability to understand and retain nuance over long conversations. Whether I'm analyzing lengthy PDFs, asking it to summarize meeting transcripts, or writing a multi-layered piece, Claude rarely loses track of the thread. Its 200,000-token context window (in Opus) means I can give it dozens of pages of material without sacrificing accuracy or tone. What GPT-5 needs: An ultra-large context window (rumored to be 200K+) and better persistent memory across chats, especially for research, planning and writing tasks. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Claude recently launched its Connectors Directory, which allows it to pull data from and take actions inside apps like Google Drive, Slack, Notion, Canva and more. I've used it to summarize documents, autofill brand templates and even build full Canva presentations from a single prompt. It's seamless, intuitive and incredibly useful. What GPT-5 needs: Built-in integrations that work directly inside the chat interface, not clunky third-party plug-ins or separate browser extensions. While ChatGPT-4o brought real-time voice and emotion to the table, Claude consistently delivers more polished, human-sounding text. It's fantastic at tone matching, empathetic phrasing and sounding like a capable assistant rather than a chatbot. It just gets how I want things written, whether it's a memo, email or blog post. When I give Claude a draft, I can trust it to edit my work without losing the creative voice or tone. What GPT-5 needs: Sharper tone control and better emotional intelligence, especially for professional and creative writing tasks. Claude has a habit of hedging when it's not confident, which, surprisingly, makes it more trustworthy. It avoids hallucinations better than GPT-4o in my experience and tends to cite sources when possible more often. I've had fewer instances of incorrect or outdated information compared to other models. What GPT-5 needs: Real-time search integration with source transparency and more honest handling of uncertainty. Claude may not be fully autonomous yet, but it still behaves like a quiet, capable teammate. From resizing Canva graphics to summarizing my inbox, it's already taking real-world actions based on context. That's the direction AI is heading, and Claude is already there. What GPT-5 needs: Agentic capabilities that go beyond text generation with smart task handling, context awareness and proactive support. ChatGPT-5 is said to be coming out soon, but we still don't know when the new model will be released. I am very much excited for OpenAI's new model, just as I am with every new and enhanced AI. A smarter, more capable ChatGPT would push the whole AI field forward. But unless it delivers meaningful upgrades in context, integrations, voice and action, Claude will remain my AI of choice for getting real work done.
