R Praggnanandhaa and his sister Vaishali become the first brother-sister pair to become Grandmasters

The duo won this distinction when Vaishali became a Grandmaster, India's 3rd woman Grandmanster, when she crossed the 2500 FIDE ratings at the IVEl Llobregat Open in Spain on Friday. Praggnanandhaa turned Grandmaster in 2018 at the age of 12. He holds the record of being the second-youngest Grandmaster.

Are men better chess players than women? A resounding 'NO'. What's holding the women back then?
