Magnus Carlsen had a memorable moment in Kolkata during the Tata Steel Chess India tournament. While handing the trophy to 20-year-old Bristy Mukherjee, who won the All India Women Rapid event, the World No. 1 was left blushing when she touched his feet for blessings. Carlsen also clinched the blitz title with 13 points, completing a double victory in Kolkata for the second time since 2019. Filipino-American Grandmaster Wesley So secured second place, while Arjun Erigaisi and R Praggnanandhaa finished third and fourth. Carlsen now heads to Singapore for Freestyle Chess promotions and a match against Fabiano Caruana.
