It was expected from the chess master of India as Arjun Erigaisi needed less than a point to cross the 2800 ELO rating barrier. Representing team Alkaloid, Arjun faced Russia's Dmitry Andreikin in the fifth round of the European Chess Club Cup 2024, and with a massive win the star created history. Arjun Erigaisi now has a 2802.1 rating and has moved up to the World No. 3 in the live rating list. Arjun became the only second Indian to achieve this feat, while the first one to do so was Viswanathan Anand, who later congratulated the youngster on social media. Garry Kasparov Lauds Team India on Historic Double Gold Medals at Chess Olympiad 2024, Says ‘Vishy’s Children Are All Grown Up’.
