Humpy captures second world rapid chess title

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.

The farce at the recent AI Expo, where Galgotia University sought to pass off a Chinese robot dog as its own ‘original’ work, could easily be dismissed as an embarrassing aberration, but in fact exposes a national system increasingly built on falsehoods, where projection substitutes for reality.
