*****************************************************************
Praggnanandhaa became an IM at the age of 10 years and 10 months. Sergey Karjakin held the record for the youngest GM in the world – 12 years and 7 months.
With nearly one year and nine months to go it seemed as if Pragg would break Karjakin’s record.
However, it was not to be and although the young lad from Chennai crossed 2500 Elo mark, he could achieve just one GM norm. Many people felt that it was the pressure on his shoulders of becoming
that youngest GM in the world that was not letting Pragg play
his natural game. Now that we are past that phase,
Pragg is showing his free flowing game and achieved his second GM norm in smooth style at the 4th Fischer Memorial GM norm tournament in Heraklion, Greece.
