In the world of chess, two young prodigies are making waves and capturing the hearts of fans around the globe. R. Praggnanandhaa, also known as Pragg, and D. Gukesh, are part of what some are calling Gen G: The Golden Generation of chess players.

Pragg’s game is characterized by strong opening preparation, exceptional calculation skills, and a fearless attitude when facing the best in the world. Trained under the guidance of Grandmaster RB Ramesh, Pragg’s career has been on a steady upward trajectory, culminating in a remarkable performance at the Chess World Cup where he finished as the runner-up. His recent game against Women’s World Champion Ju Wenjun showcased his strategic brilliance and tactical acumen.

On the other hand, Gukesh’s journey to becoming one of the youngest Grandmasters in the world at the age of 12 has been unconventional. By avoiding the use of chess engines in his preparation, Gukesh developed a unique perspective on the game, leading to his resourcefulness and self-reliance on the board. His rapid rise to becoming a 2700-rated player and his inclusion in the prestigious Candidates tournament at just 18 years old is a testament to his talent and dedication.

Both Pragg and Gukesh represent a new generation of chess players who are pushing the boundaries of the game and redefining what it means to be a champion. As they continue to make their mark on the chess world, fans can expect to see more exciting performances and groundbreaking achievements from these young stars.
