Earlier this week, R Praggnanandhaa, the 18-year-old Indian Grandmaster, made history by becoming the youngest player to reach the final of a FIDE World Cup. Despite losing the final to the reigning World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen in tiebreakers, this undoubtedly marked his most remarkable achievement in a major tournament. In this episode of Game Time, hosts Mihir Vasavda and Amit Kamath discuss this feat, what contributed to his rise, and what lies ahead for India's young grandmasters.
