Having beaten Magnus Carlsen several times in the last couple of years, young Indian Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa feels he will be under no pressure when he takes on the multiple-time world champion in his home turf during the Norway Chess tournament, which gets underway here on May 27.
Praggnanandhaa last beat the 33-year-old Carlsen in the Superbet rapid and blitz tournament, a part of the Grand Chess Tour, in Warsaw earlier this month. “I don’t think playing Magnus in his home turf is a challenge for me. Usually, it matters to the player playing in his home, but it won’t matter so much for me,” said Praggnanandhaa, who will also have his sister R Vaishali playing the Norway Chess Women’s Tournament for the first time.
