THE GREAT INDIAN CHESS HOPE!
Sixteen year old Praggnanandhaa is one of India’s fastest rising chess grandmasters, a country that has no grandmasters till Vishwanathan Anand became its first grandmaster in January 1988.
Since then 72 others have grasped this honor. Pragg belongs to a generation of young Indians who embody the country's growing influence in chess, a sport that has its origins in a two-player Indian board game from the sixth century.
It's no mean feat in a country of 1.3 billion people feverishly obsessed with cricket.

The educational value of the game is why many Indian parents are encouraging their children to play the game.
