What he's saying: When asked on Chess24 he'd celebrate beating Carsen, Praggnanandhaa said: 'I think it’s about just going to bed, because I don’t think I will have dinner at 2:30 in the morning. And amazingly Thomas, from Aspatria, Cumbria, beat the deadly brain bug not. India's celebrated retired cricket star Sachin Tendulkar described Praggnanandhaa's win over Carlsen late on Monday as 'magical.' 'You've made India proud!' Tendulkar added.I wish the talented Praggnanandhaa the very best for his future endeavours,' Modi added.

'Proud of his accomplishment of winning against the noted champion Magnus Carlsen.

But Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted, 'We are all rejoicing on the success of the young genius R Praggnanandhaa.'

India's teen chess grandmaster Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa is winning widespread praise after becoming the youngest person to beat Magnus Carlsen since the Norwegian player became world champion in 2013.
