Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa from Tamil Nadu achieved a remarkable milestone by winning the Norway Chess tournament, finishing with 18 points. His victory included defeating World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen twice, a feat he described as a significant confidence booster. In an exclusive interview, Praggnanandhaa shared insights into his preparation, noting that he relied on his team's thorough analysis rather than extensive individual training due to a tight schedule. He expressed deep gratitude towards his family, particularly his sister, Grandmaster Vaishali, and his coach, Ramesh, for their unwavering support. Additionally, he acknowledged Gautam Adani for providing crucial backing throughout his chess career. Reflecting on the current success of Indian chess players, Praggnanandhaa hailed this era as India's 'Golden Generation', highlighting the collective achievements of players like D Gukesh and Vaishali. Although he has yet to celebrate his win properly due to ongoing fan interactions, he looks forward to resting and continuing his pursuit of success in future tournaments.
