“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:
