India’s chess grandmaster and silver medallist Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa, responds to a television media personnel as he is welcomed upon his return from the FIDE Chess World Cup in Baku, at the Chennai International airport in Chennai, on August 30, 2023/AFPPix: India's teen chess prodigy Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa arrived home to celebration Wednesday, with media jostling to catch a glimpse of the newly minted star who faced international No.1 Magnus Carlsen in the World Cup final.

He earned praise from chess legend Garry Kasparov who said Pragg was “very tenacious in difficult positions”. Nagalakshmi told the ChessBase India news site on Tuesday that she had made rice and sambhar for Pragg at the FIDE World Rapid Team Championship in Dusseldorf, Germany, that followed the Baku event.

“He used to be in the academy every day from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, at times staying longer -- and I would give him homework which would take at least three hours to finish,“ he said.
