Pranav Adani Hails Praggnanandhaa's Double Win Over World No.1 Carlsen In Norway Chess As 'a Rare Achievement'
Adani Enterprises Limited: After Praggnanandhaa R continued his remarkable run at Norway Chess by defeating World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen for the second time in the tournament, Pranav Adani, Director, Adani Enterprises Limited, lauded the Indian Grandmaster's effort, saying the double win reflects "the confidence, maturity and competitive spirit" Praggnanandha brings to the event.
The 20-year-old, who is supported by Adani Sportsline's 'Garv Hai' initiative, produced another composed performance in Round 8, overcoming Carlsen with the black pieces after having earlier defeated him with white in the tournament.
Widely regarded as one of the world's strongest chess tournaments, Norway Chess features many of the game's highest-ranked players. Praggnanandhaa's latest victory places him in elite company. He has now become only the second Indian after Viswanathan Anand to record two classical wins over Carlsen in the same year.
