"Praggnanandhaa is a great talent has a bright future in chess" - Sergey Karjakin

For many months now we have been talking about 12-year-old Praggnanandhaa breaking Karjakin's record of becoming the youngest GM in the world at the age of 12 years and 7 months. With just 7 days to go, it is clear that Pragg can no longer break the record as he has to make two more GM norms. We ask Karjakin about Praggnanandhaa and also the world record. His views on our young prodigy were important because Karjakin had played Pragg just a few hours ago at the Aeroflot Blitz 2018 where he beat him 1.5-0.5, but was in grave danger in one of the games. What does keeping the record of World's youngest GM mean to Sergey? Also, we pose him with 2 famous Tal positions which he identifies and solves very quickly! Lastly he also speaks about Candidates and how defending the title means much more pressure!
