Guru Nanak National High School: In a nearly decade-long career as a player, Grandmaster R. Praggnanandhaa has never witnessed a stampede-like situation at a chess venue.

As a teenager, the 20-year-old World No. 7 has attended numerous chess events with former and current stars. But what he experienced on Friday at the District Sports Club near Dharavi in Mumbai was a unique experience for him.

Pragg was in Mumbai to attend the one-day Dharavi Chess Championship 2025, organised by the Navbharat Mega Developers and Adani Group, for school children from Dharavi, which is transforming through a development project.
