Indian chess prodigy Grandmaster Praggnanandhaa on Wednesday responded to a congratulatory tweet from Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings. In his response, the 16-year-old chess wizard wrote a simple "Thank You!! @ChennaiIPL". CSK had praised the youngster after he had beaten world champion chess player Magnus Carlsen of Norway in the Airthings Masters a couple of days back.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday congratulated young Indian chess sensation R Praggnanandhaa on his recent win over world champion Magnus Carlsen. Taking to Twitter, PM Modi wrote, "We are all rejoicing on the success of the young genius R Praggnanandhaa. Proud of his accomplishment of winning against the noted champion Magnus Carlsen. I wish the talented Praggnanandhaa the very best for his future endeavours. @rpragchess." The 16-year-old Praggnandhaa, the fifth youngest Grandmaster of all time, stunned Carlsen in the eighth round of the Airthings Masters, an online rapid chess competition.
Praggnanandhaa's eyes were firmly on the chequered black and white board on his computer screen, the chess pieces on it and the man with the mouse on the other side of the globe, world champion Magnus Carlsen, who started pulling his hair off as the teenager from India cornered him into submission. It was Move 32. Carlsen held the advantage of playing with white pieces and moving first, opening with the Queen's Gambit. But he moved his knight, and things changed. Praggu, as Praggnanandhaa is fondly called, termed it an error, and a "crucial" one. Seven moves later, Carlsen's resignation was final. Praggnanadhaa had become only the third Indian, after Viswanathan Anand and P Harikrishna, to shake hands with Carlsen as the winner at the end of a game in tournament play.
