Hi guys,
Hope you all are doing good. I am doing good too. I came across this wonderful news so thought to share it here.
On this last Sunday, a chess Grandmaster from India, a 16 year old boy named Praggnanandhaa from Chennai in Tamilnadu state defeated a 5 times world champion Magnus Carlsen in the eight round of the Airthings Masters an online rapid chess competition.
Praggnanandhaa who won the match against Armenia's Levon Aronian in the Airthings series, drew 2 matches, while other matches ended in defeat.
In this situation, he faced the five time world champion Magnus Carlsen from Norway. The 16 year old played by choosing black pieces in the match.
During the game's 39th move, Magnus Carlsen conceded defeat. The defeat of the 5 times world champion by a 16year old boy from Chennai has created an eye widen moment internationally.
The wishes started pouring in for the boy from celebrities and common people, family, friends, relatives etc to congratulate him for the wonderful feat.
I am proud to be an Indian and wish that more and more people make our country and citizens proud.
Hope you are having a good day. Take care!!!

@Rashnag I am doing good. Just too busy with work and life. And so not much here. It's end of academic year, exam time and some extra workload. Also, my daughters are both gearing up for their board exams and so are my students
