  • In an interesting development, former world champion and legend Vladimir Kramnik will train six Indian chess players in Geneva from August 14 to 25.

    The list of Indian players includes young Grandmasters Praggnanandhaa and D Gukesh.

    Iniyan, Arjun Erigaisi, Raunak Sadhwani and Leon Mendonca are also a part of this contingent.

  • Chennai's Gukesh is India's youngest Grandmaster at 12 years, 7 months and 17 days.

    He achieved the feat in January this year. Notably, he is also the second youngest person in history to achieve the title of Grandmaster, which FIDE awarded him in March.

    Prior to Gukesh, R Praggnanandhaa had become the world's second youngest Grandmaster at 12 years, 10 months and 13 days.

    Kramnik's training could be a turning point
  • With Kramnik providing valuable lessons to these chess prodigies, it can be a turning point for them.

    The Indian chess players have shown promise and the future looks bright for the contingent.

    Recently, 15-year-old Prithu Gupta became India's 64th Grandmaster after crossing the Elo threshold of 2,500 points.

    With so much talent and promise on offer, Kramnik's training will only add more substance.
