>What he's saying: When asked on Chess24 he'd celebrate beating Carsen, Praggnanandhaa said: "I think it’s about just going to bed, because I don’t think I will have dinner at 2:30 in the morning."

I don't comprehend this quote or even the sentence Axios introduced it with. ("asked on Chess24 he'd celebrate"?) What is this saying?

Dialog from the linked video:

> Interviewer: It must be a big day for you, beating the world champion. Will you sort of have a nice dinner, celebrate at all? Or is it just about going to bed now and get ready for day 3?

> Praggnanandhaa: I think it's about just going to bed, because I don't think I will have dinner at 2:30 in the morning.

The tournament is scheduled in the Central European Time timezone, while Praggnanandhaa is in India Standard Time. The match in question was scheduled to start at 8:00PM CET, which is 12:30AM IST.

Chess24 is the chess platform hosting the tournament. The sentence should read something like "When asked on Chess24 (the platform) how he would celebrate..."
