Humpy captures second world rapid chess title
The New Indian Express Kochi
|December 30, 2024
THERE is a different joy of being a mother. India's Koneru Humpy had won the World Rapid Chess Championship on Saturday but when she spoke about the win a day later, she could not help but speak about her seven-year-old daughter.
Humpy's daughter was a thousand miles away in Vijayawada with her parents.
"My daughter won a gold medal in abacus yesterday (Saturday), so she was having her own moment," Humpy told this daily from New York on Sunday.
For Humpy, her daughter's victory seems to be as big as her second world rapid medal, a record she shares with China's Ju Wenjun. "I spoke to my daughter just after the win."
The 37-year-old from Vijayawada last won the title in 2019.
