Legendary Viswanathan Anand hailed R Praggnanandhaa’s highly competitive style of play, and urged the struggling world champion D Gukesh to take a leaf out of the book of newly-crowned Norway Chess champion to script a turnaround.

Praggnanandhaa recently became the first Indian chess player to annex the Norway title, but Gukesh finished sixth in the tournament. “I’m delighted that Praggnanandhaa has won Norway Chess in an impressive style. I am very happy at the spectacular turnaround [he made] in the last four rounds. He is playing the game with some amazingly impressive concepts and style,” Anand, told PTI.
