[Ramesh RB @Rameshchess]

We would like to go public and express our sincere thanks GM Mahel Boyer and @GirelJoseph GM Joseph Girel, both from France, for helping @rpraggnachess in his opening preparations over the last couple of years. Along with GM @vaibhavschess, we have been able to build a compact unit with high level of trust in each other. We feel this is a good time the chess world comes to know about the silent, behind the scenes contribution of Joseph and Mahel in Pragg's progress. Thank you boys!

Congratulations to @rpraggnachess on winning #NorwayChess for the 1st time after an absolutely incredible 4 classical win in a row!

[ChessBase India @ChessbaseIndia]

Check out the incredible final moments of Praggnanandhaa taking down World no.1 Magnus Carlsen with the Black pieces in Round 8 of Norway Chess 2026!

With this win, Pragg becomes the first Indian (and possibly in the world) player who defeated Magnus Carlsen in Classical Chess twice in the same tournament! What a moment for Indian Chess.
