R Praggnanandhaa has become India’s youngest and world’s second youngest Grandmaster after he made it to final round of the Gredine Open in Italy. All of 12 years and 10 months old, Praggnanandhaa is being showered with heaps of praises, if just a cursory glance through the Internet is all to go by.
While Praggnanandhaa became the second youngest Grandmaster of the world of all time, the fourth spot in youngest Grandmasters too, is held by an Indian — Parimarjan Negi, at the age of 13 years and 4 months.
Youngest Grandmasters in history:
- Sergey Karjakin (Ukraine) 12 years, 7 months
- R Praggnandhaa (India) 12 years, 10 months.
that means, he is just 3 months older than the youngest in the world!
Great to see our india going so ahead in every field and at such age too!
A BigCongrats to R Praggnanandhaa from my side,hope he achieves new highs in his life! :)
