With Nihal Sarin hitting 2700 Elo, the four big talents of Indian chess have now officially become super GMs. What makes this very special is the fact that it is just the beginning for all of them.

If you trace back the growth trajectory of each of these youngsters you will see that at different points one of them was ahead in the journey and then the others caught up.

For eg. Pragg became a GM first and then almost immediately Nihal and Arjun followed. Nihal was the first one to hit 2600. Gukesh became the first one to cross 2700 and then almost immediately Arjun followed. Gukesh took charge in crossing 2750, and it was Pragg who became the first among them to reach the Candidates. Between them they have all won innumerable championships both over the board and online.

It reminds us of the 4-minute mile phenomenon. Until 1954, no one felt that a mile could be ran in under 4 minutes and then Roger Bannister did it and since then 1755 athletes have achieved the feat. With Gukesh, Pragg, Arjun and Nihal it just feels when one achieves something, the others will soon catch up! :) At least that has been the trend.

Arjun is born in 2003, Nihal in 2004, Pragg in 2005 and Gukesh in 2006. Just 3 years separate all of them and you won't find a bunch of champions more level headed than them! What we can see between the four of them is positive competition. When someone achieves something it inspires the other to push his boundaries! And if the inspiration within the borders doesn't suffice then we always have Firouzja, Abdusattorov and Keymer!

For now we are all enjoying their exploits and it goes without saying that a few years down the line, books will be written about the Fantastic Four of Indian chess. And mind you, these fantastic four might become the famous five or super six if a couple of more talents join in! Exciting times lie ahead for an Indian chess fan! 😀

17-year old D Gukesh has now overtaken 5-time World Champion Viswanathan Anand in the live ratings to become the India no.1 player, with a live rating of 2756! What a moment.

That moment when the legends @vishy64theking and @MagnusCarlsen broke into a smile in an extremely tense game, recognizing the beauty of the situation over the board. What an amazing shot by @photochess!

Today would have marked the 105th birthday of legendary physicist, science communicator and #NobelPrize laureate Richard Feynman.

Feynman was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on quantum electrodynamics, including the introduction of the Feynman diagram.

On 30 April 1897, British physicist J. J. Thomson presented his research of cathode rays culminating in the discovery of the electron. The announcement took place during an evening lecture to the Royal Institution in London.

In 1906, he was awarded the #NobelPrize in Physics.

Absolutely stunned by Ding's play in the last game. ...Bb4, ...Rg6 - these are the moves of a real Champion! Determination, skill, courage.

Congrats to Ding Liren, new World Chess Champion!

Commiserations to Ian - he was very close, but that's what sport is about.

[Magnus Carlsen @MagnusCarlsen]

Self-pinning for immortality. Congrats Ding!!

Relived my maiden National Chp title during the 6th Master Camp with #UpstepAcademy's students!

We studied my play from those days and drew lessons. 9 y/o Saatvik Mitra chipped in with a fun rapidfire followed by an interesting Q&A with the students! Happy to help the kids grow!

The powers of the golden ratio (φ) can all be expressed in terms of φ. Each power is the sum of the two previous powers - the coefficients of φ and integer parts form the Fibonacci sequence.

φ²=φ+1
φ³=2φ+1
φ⁴=3φ+2
φ⁵=5φ+3
φ⁶=8φ+5
