@@tuktukkkkkkI read around 2004-05, even in newspaper or on news she was the only female in chess which I knew when I was a kid and back then I was a kid so I also wondered about her bcz I had never heard such name. Later on I obviously read history and learnt about Hampi & that she was named after that but back then I didn't know
@@Phoenix.219, similar story here. I have been reading so much about Koneru Humpy in the newspapers and GK books since so many years. It was only recently that I came across CBI's video of V.Anand interacting with Humpy, Gukesh, Pragg and Vaishali over a meal. I was completely bowled over by her simplicity , humility and charm . That led me to catch up on her on Wikipedia. Deeply impressed by her achievements and the fact that she is balancing her chess career so well after marriage and motherhood. I understand her father has been her trainer. But what about sponsorships for her team ? I sincerely wish somebody sponsors for Paddy Upton to be her coach for physical & mental strength training too. As a layperson I am also intrigued as to why there should be separate men's & women's events in a game like chess? Understand in the classical version , physical endurance for games lasting 5 to 6 hrs can be a challenge. But why can there not be games which are common for all chess players in the rapid and blitz formats atleast? And why do we read that the players in the men's circuit are better than the women players? Pardon me for being naive, but I would really appreciate chess followers to enlighten me on that.
Hampy is 37 and still won a world championship 🏆. She has lot of determination with family life, kid and travelling. Great example for Indian women achievement 👏👍
Yes, they have to. Don’t know what to expect from Revanth CM in our Telangana But expect a good gesture by A.P CM and Pawan Sir This will pave the way for youngsters.
How on Earth does someone be a legend, win a World Championship, and yet, have the same friendly neighbourhood vibe! Humpy is an Indian Chess Legend and definitely the forerunner of the India Women Chess
Joy to watch her play and her mature talk and behavior during interviews. Great inspiration and needs more recognition from all sources at this point in time of her career. Request to both Andrea and Telengana Government to award her with sizable cash prizes.
Living legend Koneru Humpy, we are lucky to be witnessing her greatness for over 3 different decades. Unbelievable humility and authenticity, may her tribe increase and inspire the chess community.
She's so humble and soft speaking, it's always good seeing such people achieve the highest of ranks/honour in their field. Thanks for being the pride you are to this country. 👏🏻👏🏻
I checked (with the help of OpenAI's chatGPT) the birth dates of the World Rapid Chess champions (from 2012 onwards) and the age at which they won th championships . Interestingly Koneru Humpy winning her second crown this time on Dec 28th is at age 37 years, 9 months, and 12 days old which is older than previous winner oldest age champion Alexandra Kosteniuk in 2021 (also on Dec 28) who was 37 years, 8 months, and 18 days old then. So in women's section from 2012 owards the oldest to win rapid chess world crown is now Koneru Humpy. And in open section the oldest when winning championship (since 2012) is Viswanathan Anand who was 48years and 16 days old when he won in the year 2017 (also on 28th Dec )! The two are great inspirations for the youth!
Congratulations Humpy ji..... We, all Indians are very very proud of you ma'am... It's not an easy task to win this rapid championship against world top gms..... Heartiest congratulations❤🎉🙏🏼🇮🇳
Great Job Humpy ! Keep fighting and Inspiring ! Wholesome moment. One's hand automatically pranams out of divine respect when you see such rare combination - Smart + Humble + Intelligent + Rooted + Inclusive + Empathetic + Simple + Genuine + Original + Gratitude.
Players like Humpy played chess and represented India back when it was neither that popular nor her achievements well recognised. Yet, she persevered and hence deserves all the accolades of the world now!
Arjun & Pragg can learn something from Koneru Humpy like how to finish it off... For Arjun & Pragg, So near yet So far.. Still there's Blitz in WRB 2024 @ NY✌️😎👍
Sagar bhai, whenever you mention India's chess achievements in 2024- you always miss mentioning Divya's U-19 World title. That is a great achievement and deserves a mention. Please don't skip it 😊😊
Koneru Humpy Ma'am is an inspiration ✨. 1st Indian female grandmaster 🎉. Winning world rapid championship 2019 after a break of 2 years due to maternity sabbatical. Then winning world rapid championship 2024 after having a couple of bad tournaments is motivational🤩
She made me realise achieving championship a at an older age is difficult n needs more determination compared to being younger .. as we age we take on lot of responsibilities and need to manage personal n professional life .. kudos to humpy for achieving it twice
Have come to US from Singapore to Houston last week , the jet lag is terrible. Your victory is all the wonderful I can empathise fully your mental pressure. Made my day and get the feeling I seeing fresh surge of blessings for Bharat ie. India. Jai Bharat, Jai Ma, Jai Ma❤❤❤❤
Plain and important thing, you can be humble and still win. And keep winning!!! Instead of being a moron just to get followers in news and social media. Indians are the best :) Congrats Koneru Humpy.
Hii.. Koneru Humbi.. I am watching you, when you became under nine champion.. Very proud of you.. I am very happy.. You became the world Champion again in your 37 th age.. Very very geat...
Humpy maam is so inspirational for all women chess players! And to women in general! Such a positive happy-go-lucky attitude off-board, yet a beast on-board ❤❤❤

Yes, they have to.
Don’t know what to expect from Revanth CM in our Telangana
But expect a good gesture by A.P CM and Pawan Sir
This will pave the way for youngsters.
