Koneru Humpy vs Divya Deshmukh: First all-Indian final at FIDE Women's Chess World Cup
The Daily Guardian
|July 26, 2025
In a first for Indian chess, the FIDE Women's World Cup will have a winner from the country with Koneru Humpy and Divya Deshmukh set to fight it out in what could be anybody's game in the grand finale here on Saturday.
It's the first in the event's history that two Indians are facing each other in the final. Both Humpy and Deshmukh have qualified for the Women's candidates' tournament next year after reaching the final here.
On pure experience of playing big games, Humpy goes in the final as the favourite against compatriot Deshmukh.
Humpy held her nerves to score a come-from-behind victory in the semifinals over Tingjie Lei of China in the tie-breaker on Thursday, while Deshmukh defeated former world champion Zhongyi Tan - also of China - in the second game of the last-four stage match.
