Arjun Erigaisi joins the 2800 club!

It was long in the coming, for the impatient fans that is. Arjun Erigaisi made history by cementing Vishy Anand’s legacy in Indian chess by becoming the second ever Indian (and we know a third is hot on his heels) to break that elusive 2800 barrier. In just over 12 months he has added over 100 Elo and as of now is world no.3 at 2802.1 Elo. Breathtaking! (photo: Michal Walusza/FIDE.com)
