‘Mother paas panch hai’ – firstpost

R Praggnanandhaa recently equaled the legendary Viswanathan Anand by defeating the world champion of Gukesh and winning the title Tata Steel Chess Masters in 2025 at Wijk Aan Zee, Netherlands. Praggnanandhaa is the first Indian since Anand in 2006 to win the prestigious title.

Praggnanandhaa’s first major reigning victory was praised by the former World Champion Anand on “X” while congratulating the 19 -year -old chess prodigy.

“Indian Chess Winter in Wijk!” Congratulations to @rpraggnachss for winning his first @tatasteelchess event at Wijk Aan Zee. The last day was not typical of his game. He played many brilliant matches, but yesterday he outdone himself, then defended a lost position. The tragedy for him was after getting closer to the desired goal of a draw, he made a mistake again.

Vishy Anand congratulates Praggnanandhaa

“@DGukesh had lost some time ago against Arjun, so we were in the unusual situation of the two contenders in the title losing their matches and we go to the break in equality. @Wacachess, ”posted Anand.

“In the equal breakdown, @Rpraggnachess lost the first match before winning the next two to become the 2025 champion. Given what he had experienced, he would have been an unimaginable effort,” He added.

‘Mere Paas Panch Hai’: Anand’s funny message to Praggnanandhaa

Anand then made a spiritual remark using a viral sentence, recalling in Praggnanandhaa that he had won five titles at the Tata Steel chess tournament. Anand won Tata Steel’s chess titles in 1989, 1998, 2003, 2004 and 2006.

“The simple Panch Hai Pass .. Iykyk!” Wrote the 55 -year -old with a photo of Praggnanandhaa holding the trophy.

They were even Stevens between Praggnanandhaa and Gukesh after 13 laps at the Tata Steel chess tournament. While Gukesh pulled two years and lost one (against Arjun Erigaisi) during his last three laps, Praggnandhaa defeated Fabiano Caruana and Alexey Sarana in the heats 11 and 12, before descending to Vincent Keymer at the Tour 13.

With the level of Praggnanandhaa and Gukesh on 8.5 points, brising matches of the qualifiers were played. Gukesh won the first game with white pieces before Praggnanandhaa did the same in the second match. There was nothing more to separate the two, and the match entered sudden death, where Gukesh takes place and Praggnanandhaa became the champion.
