Grandmaster Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa didn't envisage such a "crazy day" with eight hours of world class performance after which he pipped reigning World Champion D Gukesh to win his maiden Tata Steel Chess Tournament. "It was very long, close to eight hours, the first game itself lasted like 6.5 hours and then we had this blitz, it was a crazy day," he said. On the impact of this victory, Praggnanandhaa said, "This is a very special event in the chess world and I have seen games from this tournament growing up. Last year, it did not go my way so I was really motivated for this tournament."
