“He reminds me so much of young Vishy”
Vladimir Kramnik and Judit Polgar are not only the head coaches of their respective teams in the Julius Baer Challengers Tour, but also the commentators in the live webcasts of the individual events. On day 4 of the Polgar Challenge, once it became clear that Praggnanandhaa would win the tournament, Kramnik reflected:
He reminds me so much of young Vishy. In everything. In the character, it seems to me he’s very sharp, light, quick. [.] And this kind of sharpness, you know.
Anand congratulated Pragg on his victory, noting as the youngster himself did later on that the biggest challenge lies ahead, at the next event of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour. The former world champion tweeted:

Praggnanandhaa powers into Champions Chess Tour
15-year-old Indian prodigy Praggnanandhaa has won the Polgar Challenge with a round to spare to earn $3,000 and a place in the 5th leg of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour, where he’s likely to face World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen in less than two weeks’ time. In the end Pragg’s 3.5/4 on the final day was enough for him to finish a full 1.5 points ahead of the chasing pack of Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Gukesh, Nihal Sarin and Volodar Murzin. Team Polgar clinched team victory with 96.5 points to Team Kramnik’s 88.
