Koneru Humpy delivered an outstanding performance at the World Rapid Championship by finishing joint-first with a score of 8.5 out of 11 points. Despite remaining undefeated throughout the tournament, she had to settle for the bronze medal due to inferior tiebreaks after a draw in the final round denied her a chance at gold. The championship title was eventually claimed by Aleksandra Goryachkina following a playoff win against China’s Zhu Jiner. Koneru Humpy’s consistent and resilient play once again highlighted her status as one of India’s most accomplished and reliable chess grandmasters on the global stage.
