4/2/2023 – I had the honor of speaking with chess Super Grandmaster Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa, one of the youngest players ever to achieve the title. At only 16 years old, Praggnanandhaa has already achieved remarkable success, including winning the Julius Baer Challenge Championship 2022. In our interview, Praggnanandhaa shared his insights on a range of topics, from his early days in chess to his current training regimen with coach R. B. Ramesh and future goals. He also discussed his experiences playing against some of the world's top players, as well as his thoughts on chess strategy and the importance of mental preparation. Overall, the interview provided a fascinating look into the mind of a young chess prodigy who is sure to be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come.
