Gooood Afternooon!

It is going to be a historic day for Indian chess. One of Koneru Humpy or Divya Deshmukh will be crowned the FIDE Women's World Cup champion, a feat never achieved before by an Indian. 

Humpy and Deshmukh played out draws in the two classical games over the last two days. 

While the veteran had a narrow escape in the first game as Deshmukh struggled to find the winning combination after a good start, Humpy was forced into a three-fold repetition against her will on Sunday.

Expect a cracking tie-breaks in this clash of styles and generations.

Stay tuned for all the latest updates!
