On June 23rd, 2018 India’s Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa became the 2nd youngest chess grandmaster in history. Praggnanandhaa did this at the age of 12 years, 10 months, and 13 days. He acquired his final prerequisite (3rd Grandmaster norm) at the 4th ad Gredine Open by defeating his 8th round opponent, 18-year-old Grandmaster Luca Moroni Jr. of Italy. What added an exclamation point to this already wonderful achievement by Praggnanandhaa was that he earned his final Grandmaster norm with a round to spare!
