Young Indian Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa emerged champion in the V Geza Hetenyi Memorial Super GM chess tournament 2023.
The 17-year-old GM scored 6.5 points to finish clear first in the 10-player event. After nine rounds of play, he ended up a point ahead of M Amin Tabatabaei (Iran) and Russia’s Sanan Sjugirov.
Throughout the tournament, Praggnanandhaa achieved five wins, drew three games, and suffered only one defeat, which occurred in the fifth round against Amin Tabatabaei.
In 2016, at the remarkable age of 10, Praggnanandhaa achieved the title of the youngest international master in history.
On 20 February 2022, he accomplished a significant feat by becoming the third Indian player (after Anand and Harikrishna) to defeat World Champion Magnus Carlsen in any time format.
