World Champion Ding Liren: With less than a week to go for the prestigious 12th edition of Norway Chess, India’s chess sensation Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu is excited about playing the field which includes world No.1 Magnus Carlsen, World Champion Ding Liren and world No.3 Hikaru Nakamura among other global stars. The event will be held at Stavanger, Norway, from May 27 to June 7.
“I am very happy and excited to play in Norway Chess. The field is extremely strong. This is perhaps the strongest field I have played and I see this as an opportunity and a challenge to give my best. I am also looking forward to playing in this time control which I have not played anywhere else,” said the 18-year-old Pragg.
Reflecting on his contest with world No.1 Magnus Carlsen at last year’s FIDE Chess World Cup where he gave the 32-year-old Norwegian a stiff challenge, Pragg said, “I always enjoy a good challenge. After the World Cup last year, this will be my first classical game with him. I am quite excited to play him and equally excited to play the others. No doubt the experience here will help me in future tournaments.”
