Suppose the Indian Chess Prodigy wins the World Cup in 2019 and qualifies for the Candidates Tournament in 2020.  And lo-and-behold, let's say he wins the Candidates in 2020, and earns the right to face Magnus for the WCC title when Pragga is just 15 or 16 years old!

 

Pragga is like the Human AlphaZero.  He just learns and grows at an exponential rate.  And he'll be facing King Magnus who's nearly twice his age for the World Title in 2020.

Pragga is amazing. I hope that match happens, but I think Fabi would have something to say about that.

By 2020, I think Fabi will improve. I don't know a better challenger for classical honestly...

He’s not going to be in the world title match in 2020, let’s be real.

I have a different perspective @ChosenEinstein . Only time will tell. 

 

Magnus will probably still be champion after 2020 if we are being real though. Unless he loses interest.

He didn't lose to Caruana and that is still saying something.

Ok, but Karjakin was a GM at an even younger age, and look where he is now, not even in the top 10.

Too young to tell how far he can go.
