Divya Deshmukh Wins FIDE Women World Cup, Vishy Anand Speaks To NDTV

Teenaged Indian chess player Divya Deshmukh earned the biggest success of her career by clinching the FIDE Women's World Cup with a tie-break win over compatriot and more experienced Koneru Humpy here on Monday. The victory not just earned the 19-year-old the prestigious title, but also made her a Grandmaster, something which looked improbable when she started the tournament. She is only the fourth woman from India to become a Grandmaster, and the 88th overall. The victory for the Nagpur player came after the two classical games played on Saturday and Sunday ended in draws.
