He achieved his first grandmaster norm this year at the Under-20 FIDE World Junior Chess Championship held in Italy, where he finished fourth among 148 participants with 8.0 points and came close to winning the trophy altogether with an exceptional performance.
The Chennai boy is now 12 years and three months old and if he becomes Grand Master before March, that would break the existing record of the youngest grandmaster, i.e. 12 years and 7 months old.
Praggananadhaa is currently on a World tour which will see him competing in three grandmaster norms tournaments in Australia, Sweden and the USA.
