Arjun finished at the fifth spot, while Gukesh D, the winner of the FIDE Candidates Chess Tournament 2024 and the youngest-ever challenger to the world title held by Ding Liren, finished at the 10th spot.
Chess legend Gary Kasparov praised young grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa, who gave autographs to fans during the Rapid and Blitz tournament, and said the way he was giving signature means "hand doesn't get sore so quickly".
R Praggnanandhaa, who recently competed at the FIDE Candidates for the first time, is all set to participate at the Rapid and Blitz tournament which takes place in Poland.
