Levon Aronian Praises Praggnanandhaa's Historic GCT Victory

Grandmaster Levon Aronian lauded R. Praggnanandhaa for his historic Grand Chess Tour (GCT) title win, highlighting the young prodigy's improved endgame precision.

Praggnanandhaa secured the victory after a grueling tournament, overcoming a long-standing weakness in his defensive play that had previously hindered his performance.

Aronian noted that the win cements Praggnanandhaa's status as a top-tier contender, though the Indian star admitted the victory does not fully erase the pain of his Candidates tournament exit.
