Praggnanandhaa overtakes Viswanathan Anand as India’s No.1 in Tata Steel Chess Tournament

Chess prodigy Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa clinched the number one spot among India’s chess players following his victory over World Champion Ding Liren.

The 18-year-old defeated China’s Liren with the black pieces at the chess-tournament 2024 Tata Steel Chess Tournament on Wednesday and surpassed the legendary Viswanathan Anand to take the number one spot.

Praggnanandhaa said he was surprised with the outcome as he didn’t expect the world champion to get ousted in such a fashion.
