There Is No Rivalry With Magnus Carlsen: R Praggnanandhaa
The Norway Chess: Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa is now a household name in India and in the international chess circuit. The stock of the 18-year-old, currently in Romania for the Superbet Classical tournament, has been steadily rising. The Norway Chess tournament in Stavanger, where he finished behind Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura, was another chapter in his storied career.
In Norway, Praggnanandhaa’s first victory in classical chess over World no. 1 Magnus Carlsen made heads turn. Interestingly, during the closing ceremony, Carlsen narrated that his loss to Praggnanandhaa was, in fact, the most memorable match of the tournament for him.
Speaking on his relationship with the world champion, Praggnanandhaa said there was no rivalry between them as they bring out the best in each other. "Whenever we play, the matches get interesting because we both enjoy being in that position, so we don’t mind it. In fact, I think that’s the reason our matches get so interesting," he said.
