R Praggnanandhaa breaks silence on Magnus Carlsen's table slam after D Gukesh loss: 'Is it a good thing? Maybe not'
R Praggnanandhaa breaks silence on Magnus Carlsen's table slam after D Gukesh loss When Magnus Carlsen slammed his fist on the table after a shocking loss to D Gukesh at the elite Norway Chess tournament, the moment went viral — a rare, raw display of frustration from a modern-day chess titan. To many, it was a sign that the young Indian brigade is finally rattling the very foundation Carlsen built. But for 19-year-old Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa, the incident was something else entirely: a reminder of just how far one must go to reach that level of passion and dominance. "Yes, it was an instinctive reaction. I think it does happen to players. I've done it sometimes, but rarely," Praggnanandhaa told PTI. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "I mean, it's (me hitting the table) not as powerful as Magnus because he's a strong guy, but Gukesh has done it and many others. It's just an instinctive reaction because you're so focused that it just comes out. "But, I mean, is it a good thing? Maybe not. I don't think so because I guess it's not good. (Having said that), I think so many people got to know that something like this happened and it became such a big thing on the internet. "And, I think it's good for the game in a way because a lot of people got to know that there was such a tournament going on and that such a dramatic game happened. "So, I think there are some good things and bad things, but I think overall, chess is growing. That's what matters." "I think Magnus is still the best player in the world. There's no question about it," Praggnanandhaa added. "Every time he plays, he's the favourite. His performance — like winning 9 out of 9 in the Grand Slam Freestyle — that's something only he can do. It's just brilliant." Poll Which aspect of Praggnanandhaa's game has improved the most? Confidence Calmness under pressure Strategic thinking Yet, while Carlsen remains the benchmark, Praggnanandhaa's own rise has been just as headline-worthy. After a quiet 2024, the teenager has exploded into form this year, winning three major classical titles — the Tata Steel Masters, Superbet Classic in Bucharest, and the UzChess Cup Masters — and leapfrogging both world champion Gukesh and Arjun Erigaisi to become India's highest-rated player at World No. 4. So what changed? 'I wasn't able to win as many games as I would have liked to (last year), but yeah, I'm much more confident now and much more ambitious than earlier. And, hopefully, I'll make it to the Candidates,' said Praggnanandhaa. READ ALSO: Exclusive | No Magnus Carlsen in India! Freestyle Chess event called off over lack of sponsors "I'm not sure how to answer that. But, I mean, I try to give my best in every tournament, and this year has been going my way so far." It's not just the titles, but the manner of his victories — two of them coming through nerve-wracking tie-breaks — that point to a more seasoned, composed player. Exclusive | Arjuna Awardee Vantika Agrawal: 'People still ask, 'Chess is fine, but what do you really do?'' 'I do think tie-breaks require some luck. Because there were moments where I needed them. But I think being calm also helps in such situations where you are playing for high stakes in such a short time. I do feel the tension. It's not like I don't feel it. But I'm able to play much more calmer than my opponents," he added. That measured response mirrors his approach to the Candidates race — the gateway to a world championship match. "Yes, there are different (several) spots, of course. I am currently leading (the race for a Candidates spot) but there is still a lot of fight till December. But I think, I mean, I will also be playing the Grand Swiss and the World Cup. So, if I can make it in one of those, that will be better because I don't have to wait till December," he continued. Still, he's acutely aware of the high standards set by his peers. 'But, I think, overall, we (Indians) are doing well. Gukesh winning the World Championship, his performance last year, he won gold in the Olympiad, he won the Candidates... and Arjun crossing 2800 in an exceptional last year. We are also inspiring each other," Pragg said. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Swedish content creator Karl Svanberg wins hearts with his love for Telugu cinema
In an inspiring cross-cultural journey from Sweden to South India, Karl Svanberg has emerged as a viral sensation by blending his passion for Telugu cinema with authentic and heartfelt content. With over one million followers on Instagram, Karl is now a beloved name among Telugu-speaking audiences across the globe. What began as a light-hearted attempt to mimic famous Indian movie scenes soon evolved into a serious creative pursuit. Karl's emotional delivery, near-perfect Telugu pronunciation, and striking screen presence have made his videos stand out. His reels, echoing iconic moments from blockbusters like Magadheera, Pushpa, and Arjun Reddy, are praised not just for entertainment but for the respect and sincerity they reflect. But behind Karl's rising fame is a strong and creatively gifted family. His wife, Ekaterina, supports his dream of becoming a full-time content creator, while his brother Ivan, a fashion designer, helps shape his visual style. His parents, Paula and Christer Svanberg—both painters—have clearly passed down an artistic legacy. Though Karl modestly calls himself a warehouse manager, his cinematic passion is anything but ordinary. His latest portrait by photographer Daniel Engvall captures Karl as a man bridging two worlds—firmly rooted in Sweden, yet deeply connected to the rhythms and emotions of Indian storytelling. Karl's story is more than just about viral fame; it's about cultural connection. His genuine admiration for Indian cinema, particularly Telugu films, and his efforts to learn the language and engage with the community have won him immense love. In a time when digital creators are abundant, Karl stands out as a rare artist whose heart and humility shine just as brightly as his content. From reels to real impact, Karl Svanberg is not just going viral—he's becoming a cultural bridge between Sweden and South India.
