The best rated chess player R Pragggnanandhaa is currently at home. Among the hectic chess calendar, Pragggnanandhaa found his happy place in a friendly game of Jenga with his friends. The chess star posted a video about him who tried to keep the blocks of Jenga on Thursday 25th September.
The chess star took X and said it was one of the ways to relax. “Chess needs focus, but Jenga also tests your nerves. Great to relax and share with friends during your free time!” Pragggnanandhaa said.

Although he could try to keep the blocks of jenema intact, Pragggnanandhaa is currently undergoing a purple spot in the world of chess. In June, Chennai-world world champion D Gukesh became a top player from India.
When Gukesh’s form failed, Pragg kept firmly in his position. Currently, the world is in the world in Fide Live. With the evaluation of 2785 in classic, Pragg is only for Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura and Fabiano Caruana.
Among the Indian stars are followed by Pragggnanandhaa Arjun Erigaisi and D Gukesh in 6 and 7th place.
Pragggnanandhaa Favorit at chess championship?
The best chess stars will be seen at the Fide Chess World Cup in October and November. The tournament hosted in India will see intensive competition among athletes for places in the candidate tournament.
Legendary Magnus Carlsen believes that Pragggnanandhaa will be one of the most popular to win the trophy. “… If there is Pragg, you know, there is a lot to choose between (the rest),” Carlsen said in an interview.
At the World Cup, a total of 206 participants are ready to fight in one of the most intense knockouts of chess, with a massive 2,000,000 USD winner on the line. The World Cup, known for its unforgivable Win-Or-Go-Home format, is expected to be among the most riveting sport glasses.
