Game 1 ends in a DRAW!
This was inevitable for the past few minutes. Divya Deshmukh did try her best to force something out of a completely drawn position, but Humpy isn't one to give in easily.
The reigning women's world rapid champion puts on an accurate defensive display to hold for a draw.
This result now means that whoever wins the next game will be crowned the FIDE Women's World Cup champion.
