R Praggnanandhaa has made history by becoming the first Indian to win the prestigious Norway Chess title, achieving this milestone with a final-round victory over Germany's Vincent Keymer. Starting the day in third place with 15 points, Praggnanandhaa secured a classical win worth three points, finishing with a total of 18 points. This victory is particularly significant as it marks the first time an Indian has won this title since the tournament's inception in 2013, a feat not accomplished by chess legends like Viswanathan Anand. Praggnanandhaa's campaign was highlighted by two victories over World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen, showcasing his skill and determination. The final round saw American Grandmaster Wesley So, who was leading with 15.5 points, held to a draw, allowing Praggnanandhaa to capitalize on the opportunity. Despite So winning the subsequent tie-break, he ended with 17 points, falling short of Praggnanandhaa's total. Meanwhile, D Gukesh's participation ended without a breakthrough, as he continues to prepare for his upcoming world title defense against challenger Javokhir Sindarov.
