Pragg finally reached 2700 in live rankings, 3.5 hours after reaching 2600. He is still not 18 so this is a phenomenal achievement even though he has been overshadowed by Gukesh recently.

That's good time. 3.5 hours is no big deal. I could watch a really bad, long movie during that time.

On the other hand, the International space station would have orbited the earth twice during that time. Or I would be on hole 15 in my weekend round of golf. Time is a relative concept!
