One has to consider though, that a lot of the Indian chess prodigies only have an absolute basic school education. As far as I know they basically quit school after around elementary school, thus having endless time to study chess afterwards. This is not comparable to the situation in western countries where chess players often finish high school at age 18.

[@SatyamSikarwal-kp6gu]

the bullshit ass of an excuse of mugging up shit called the Indian education system lol.And FYI ,Gukesh is still studying,he gave his 10th exams last year iirc. Pragg gave his exams the day he won​ against Anish Giri and also the day he lost against Ding liren (hours later )

Because it’s the best players in the world and the margins are razor thin.

I like this guy, first from watching his chess and now watching this interview, i think he's my favourite player at the minute, and I never really had a favourite before.
