German Vincent Keymer: After becoming the first Indian to lift the Norway Chess trophy R Praggnanandhaa revealed that his mother's advice just before the latter half of the tournament turned out to be surprisingly prophetic as he managed to pull off one of the biggest comebacks in the tournament history.

"She told ' it is a new month you will play well and I said 'ok it is one of those things that mom says and then I win four games straight, I think mom knows something," said Praggnanandhaa after winning the crown on Friday.

The 20-year-old Grandmaster, who defeated German Vincent Keymer in the final round, became the first Indian champion in the tournament's history.
