The victory of Divya Deshmukh’s chess ended on Monday in a quiet but powerful moment. As the final step was played, 19 -year -old stood up, went up, and hugged his mother tightly. That Hug said everything – about travel, struggle, sacrifice and pride.Divya became only the Fide Women’s World Cup champion, defeating the legendary Koneru hump in the tie-break. Another milestone came with the title. She became a Grandmaster – India’s fourth woman and overall 88th. The road was away from expectation. Divya started the tournament without a single GM criteria. She was not one of the top seeds. But he took down the high -class players, after round, with bold play and quiet determination. The final struggle with Hampi, which is double from his age and was the largest of India, was intense. After two classical draws, the match went to a tie-break. Divya attracted the first rapid game with white and then shocked Hampi with Black to win the match 2.5–1.5 matches. Overwhelmed, Divya broke into tears. She stayed with her mother for a long time, her feelings were flowing independently as her pieces were across the board throughout the tournament. “I need time to process it,” he said after winning. “I think it was luck, I am getting the title of Grandmaster in this way. Earlier I did not have a GM ideal, and now I am Grandmaster.” It was a win for belief, for the family, and for an emerging star that has just begun.
