Praggnanandhaa reveals feeling 'insecure' over Gukesh, Erigaisi and turning it into inspiration: 'I was putting pressure on myself'
Indian chess Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa reveals how the success of D Gukesh and Arjun Erigaisi made him feel 'insecure' in 2024 but now he doesn't feel scared of anyone as he learnt to turn the insecurity into motivation. read more Competition breeds excellence and success. It's true for every sport, and chess Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa's recent comments on how the success of his challengers, including world champion D Gukesh and Arjun Erigaisi, has served as an extra motivating factor for him, go to show how healthy competition can be beneficial for players. India's No.1 player, Praggnanandhaa, who turned 20 on Sunday, made the revelation on Raj Shamani's Figuring Out podcast as he spoke about how the success of players from his generation made him feel insecure in the past, but he changed his approach by looking at them as an inspiration. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Praggnanandhaa turns insecurity into motivation Praggnanandhaa was the first from the current golden age of Indian chess stars to make the headlines as he reached the FIDE World Cup final in 2023, but lost to world No.1 Magnus Carlsen. He, however, endured a subdued 2024 as Gukesh went on to become the world champion at only 18 and Arjun became the second Indian after the legendary Viswanathan Anand to cross 28000 Elo rating. 'No, not right now. But I guess in the past (they did),' Praggnanandhaa said when asked about feeling insecure. Asked who made him feel insecure, Praggnanandhaa replied: 'Just the players from my generation, whenever they were doing (well) it was putting some pressure on me, I mean I was putting pressure on myself, but I started seeing them as inspiration… now whenever they do well, I get this extra motivation. I want to push myself. It doesn't come as a pressure but as an inspiration and I want to do well." Also Read | Praggnanandhaa on what went through his mind while beating Carlsen for the first time Probed further about the players who have served as inspiration for Praggnanandhaa, the Chennai Grandmaster took the names of Gukesh, Erigaisi and Uzbek player Nodirbek Abdusattarov. 'Mostly (players) from my generation. Let's say Gukesh or Arjun (Erigaisi) do well. Or Nodirbek (Abdusattarov). When they do well, I feel like I can do it as well. So I tried to put pressure on myself which is not a good thing. I mean getting inspired from them is a different thing. Nowadays, I am better at it because last year I didn't have a great year while Gukesh won the world championship, Arjun crossed 2800. All these things just inspired me so much," he said. 'I was seeing their games so closely, trying to understand. It inspired me and I think that's one of the reasons I feel that extra energy I have when I play games nowadays. That inspiration that comes from them.' He reiterated that there's no insecurity anymore. 'When you just want to give your best and not worry about the results, I don't think there is anything to be worried about.'

Baba Vanga's 2025-26 economic crisis warning - Is Donald Trump's trade war making it real?
Baba Vanga prediction 2025: Baba Vanga, the famous Bulgarian mystic, is believed to have accurately predicted some of the world's biggest events, including the 9/11 World Trade Centre attacks and the tragic death of Princess Diana. Among her many forecasts, she also warned of a major economic crisis between 2025 and 2026. Considering the recent trade moves by US President Donald Trump, many now believe this prediction could be on its way to becoming a reality. Trump has recently signed trade agreements with several countries, but at the same time, he has introduced average tariffs of around 20%. For Brazil and India, the tariff rate has been set as high as 50%, shaking global markets and creating uncertainty. Trump's Tough Stance on India Trump, who has often called himself a 'friend' of India, has now taken a strict approach. Not only has he imposed a 50% tariff on Indian goods, but he has also warned of penalties if India continues to buy oil from Russia. Experts say this move could hit India's energy supply and disrupt its import-export balance, leading to economic pressure. Targeting BRICS Nations The BRICS group – which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – has also been a target of Trump's sharp comments. He has repeatedly questioned the trade and economic policies of these countries, sparking further tension in the global trade environment. Analysts believe such aggressive remarks and actions could make international trade relations even more fragile. Global Markets React with Volatility Following these announcements, global stock markets have seen sharp fluctuations. Investors are becoming more cautious, and many national currencies are under pressure. Market experts warn that if this tariff conflict drags on, it could push the world towards the kind of economic crisis Baba Vanga warned about for 2026. Will Baba Vanga's 2026 Crisis Prediction Come True? Over the years, Baba Vanga's predictions have sparked debate, fascination, and fear. While not all her forecasts have been proven, the unfolding trade tensions have made many wonder if her warning about a massive financial downturn could soon become a reality. The coming months will show whether the world is heading towards one of the most challenging economic periods in recent history.

The crude oil market bets Trump's India threats are hollow
The crude oil market 's rather sanguine reaction to the U.S. threats to India over its continued purchases of Russian oil is effectively a bet that very little will actually happen. President Donald Trump cited India's imports of Russian crude when imposing an additional 25per cent tariff on imports from India on August 6, which is due to take effect on August 28. If the new tariff rate does come into place, it will take the rate for some Indian goods to as much as 50per cent, a level high enough to effectively end U.S. imports from India, which totalled nearly $87 billion in 2024. As with everything related to Trump, it pays to be cautious given his track record of backflips and pivots. It's also not exactly clear what Trump is ultimately seeking, although it does seem that in the short term he wants to increase his leverage with Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of their planned meeting in Alaska this week, and he's using India to achieve this. Whether Trump follows through on his additional tariffs on India remains uncertain, although the chances of a peace deal in Ukraine seem remote, which means the best path for India to avoid the tariffs would be to acquiesce and stop buying Russian oil. But this is an outcome that simply isn't being reflected in current crude oil prices. Global benchmark Brent futures have weakened since Trump's announcement of higher tariffs on India, dropping as low as $65.81 a barrel in early Asian trade on Monday, the lowest level in two months. This is a price that entirely discounts any threat to global supplies, and assumes that India will either continue buying Russian crude at current volumes, or be able to easily source suitable replacements without tightening the global market. Are these reasonable assumptions? The track record of the crude oil market is somewhat remarkable in that it quickly adapts to new geopolitical realities and any price spikes tend to be shortlived. The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 sent crude prices hurtling toward $150 a barrel as European and other Western countries pulled back from buying Russian crude. But within four months the price was back below where it was before Moscow's attack on its neighbour as the market simply re-routed the now discounted Russian oil to China and India. In other words, the flow of oil around the globe was shifted, but the volumes available for importers remained much the same. Different this time? But what Trump is proposing now is somewhat different. It appears he wants to cut Russian barrels out of the market in order to put financial pressure on Moscow to cut a deal over Ukraine. There are effectively only two major buyers for Russian crude, India and China. China, the world's biggest crude importer, has more leverage with Trump given U.S. and Western reliance on its refined critical and other minerals, and therefore is less able to be coerced into ending its imports of Russian oil. India is in a less strong position, especially private refiners like Reliance Industries , which will want to keep business relationships and access to Western economies. India imported about 1.8 million barrels per day of Russian crude in the first half of the year, or about 37per cent of its total, according to data compiled by commodity analysts Kpler . About 90per cent of its Russian imports came from Russia's European ports and was mainly Urals grade. This is a medium sour crude and it would raise challenges for Indian refiners if they sought to replace all their Urals imports with similar grades from other suppliers. There are some Middle Eastern grades of similar quality, such as Saudi Arabia's Arab Light and Iraq's Basrah Light, but it would likely boost prices if India were to seek more of these crudes. If Chinese refiners were able to take the bulk of Russian crude given up by India, it may allow for a re-shuffling of flows, but that would not appear to be what Trump wants. Trump and his advisers may believe there is enough spare crude production capacity in the United States and elsewhere to handle the loss of up to 2 million bpd of Russian supplies. But testing that theory may well lead to higher prices, especially for certain types of medium crudes which would be in short supply. It's simplistic to say that higher U.S. output can supply India's refiners, as this would mean those refiners would have to be willing to accept a different mix of refined products, including producing less diesel, as U.S. light crudes tend to make more products such as gasoline. For now the crude oil market is assuming that the Trump/India/Russia situation will end as another TACO, the acronym for Trump Always Chickens Out. But the reality is likely to be slightly more messy, as some Indian refiners pull back from importing from Russia, some Chinese refiners may buy more and once again the oil market goes on a geopolitical merry-go-round.
