Grandmaster Praggnanandhaa R made history by becoming the first Indian to win the renowned Norway Chess tournament, defeating a field of elite players, such as Magnus Carlsen and Gukesh D, in Oslo.

Praggnanandhaa's victory was sealed after holding fellow Indian Grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi to a draw, then winning in the Armageddon tiebreak, a feat celebrated by Gautam Adani as a testament to his endurance, intellect, and temperament.
