“Trash-talking with Pragg? I can do anything I want, I'm his big sister!” — Vaishali on Supporting Pragg

Vaishali Rameshbabu

Indian GM

“I wasn’t his second. I was just here trying to support him. I’m really happy because he really wanted this win also to qualify for the finals.

Probably this is the first time he’s having very good result in Rapid and Blitz. He would always do well in Rapid but somehow Blitz will not go his way. I’m very happy for him. I think from day one he really was much stronger than others.

After game ends, it’s usually about the game. We are just discussing. And if he’s very happy about his game, I would usually point it out: ‘You missed this!’. I just try to support him as much as I can.

Trash-talking with him? I can do anything I want. I’m his big sister. So yeah, I love to do it. And he also takes it easy, so it’s very fun with him!”
