Detailed explanation-1: -Bengaluru teenager Pranav Anand became India’s 76th Grandmaster after he crossed the 2,500 Elo mark in the ongoing World Youth Chess Championship in Mamaia, Romania. The 15-year-old, having already met the other requirements that are necessary for a GM title, achieved the honour late on Thursday.
Detailed explanation-2: -Last year, Pranav Anand became India’s first International Master in 2021. We had already covered his journey until then. He was touted to be the next big thing from Karnataka. Fast forward to 1.5 years later, he lived up to everyone’s expectations and foregone knowledge, that the GM-title was an inevitability for him.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dommaraju Gukesh has already experienced quite a few highs and lows. He became India’s youngest Grandmaster but missed becoming the world’s youngest GM by just 17 days. He won gold at the Chess Olympiad this year and was on an 8/8 streak before throwing away a crucial game. And he’s just 16.
Detailed explanation-4: -Anand followed up that victory by earning the international grandmaster title in 1988.
