Introducing you to the players of the FIDE Women's Candidates 2024! 🍁

🇮🇳 Humpy Koneru - Best by rating

Humpy Koneru, the second highest-rated woman chess player in the world, emerged as a prodigious talent early on, making her mark as one of India’s premier players, following in the footsteps of Vishy Anand. Claiming numerous junior titles, including four golds at the World Youth Chess Championship and victories in the British and Indian Women’s Championships, Koneru’s prowess was evident from the start. Notably achieving her 3rd GM norm in 2002, she became the youngest woman at the time to attain grandmaster status. Her resilience and competitive spirit shone through as she reached the semi-finals of the Women’s World Championship in 2004, 2008, and 2010. In 2011, she clinched the FIDE Grand Prix series and contended for the championship against Hou Yifan. After a break due to becoming a mother, Koneru triumphally returned to the chess scene, securing victories in the Women’s Grand Prix, Women’s World Rapid Chess Championship, and the Cairns Cup in 2020. Leading the Indian women’s team to a bronze medal at the Chennai Chess Olympiad, she will continue her pursuit of the Women’s World Chess Championship title at the Candidates.
