Showcased is the most recent game by the youngest International Chess Master in history, R Praggnanandhaa. Praggnanandhaa, from Chennai, India, played as black in the final round of the 2016 Isle of Man Chess Tournament against Axel Bachmann of Paraguay who is a 2645 rated Grandmaster. Praggnanandhaa has a resume that shines bright, winning already two world youth titles and achieving the International Master title at 10 years, 10 months, and 19 days. He is, without doubt, a player who will challenge the feat of Sergey Karjakin, who holds the "youngest chess grandmaster in history" title, doing so at 12 years and 7 months. Observe Praggnanandhaa's 18-move miniature against Paraguay's finest, Axel Bachmann.</p>
