NEW DELHI: India's chess dominance continued as Grandmaster Aravindh Chithambaram clinched the Prague Masters 2025 title, marking the first major triumph of his career. The 25-year-old finished ahead of elite players, including compatriot R Praggnanandhaa, after scoring six points from nine rounds.
In the final round, Aravindh held Gurel Ediz of Turkey to a draw, strategically opting for the Caro-Kann Defense. Despite sacrificing a pawn early, he navigated the complications well, forcing a repetition as Ediz struggled to capitalise on the material advantage.
