Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first Indian to win the Norway Chess tournament, held in Oslo. In the final round, Praggnanandhaa faced Germany's Vincent Keymer, who had been undefeated in classical games throughout the tournament. Praggnanandhaa executed a brilliant strategy, leading to a decisive victory that earned him three points. His final score of 18 points surpassed American Grandmaster Wesley So, who finished with 16 points after a draw against Alireza Firouzja. This triumph is particularly significant as it took place in Norway, the home of five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen, who was mathematically out of contention for the title before the final round. Praggnanandhaa's remarkable performance included winning three consecutive games leading up to this historic victory, solidifying his status as a rising star in the chess world. Despite other Indian players facing defeats in their final matches, Praggnanandhaa's achievement has planted the Indian flag proudly in Norway, marking a new chapter in Indian chess history.
