"Divya, you just won the World Cup!"
"I'm pretty sure at some point I messed it up, perhaps I should not have allowed g4."
The FIDE Women's Chess World Cup is a highly competitive tournament with over 100 players participating. India's Divya Deshmukh, just 19 years old, competed as an underdog. Throughout the tournament in July, she faced higher-ranked opponents and pushed them to tie-breakers. In a dramatic match against India’s Koneru Humpy, Deshmukh expressed regret over her play despite her win. Her victory adds to India's rich chess history, showcasing a resurgence in prominence, evidenced by recent achievements in other prestigious competitions.
