    The Fire Within To Excel Helped Me Reclaim World Rapid Title, Says Koneru Humpy

    By IANS News January 17, 2025 • 00:36 AM View: 736
    Prime Minister Narendra Modi: A fire within and the desire to excel on the circuit once again spurred Korenu Humpy to return to chess for what she described as her "third innings" and go on to reclaim the Women's World Rapid Championship in New York around two weeks back.

    Humpy won her second World Rapid title in the last week of 2024, capturing the title again following her first triumph in 2019, by finishing ahead of Ju Wenjun of China. She had won the silver medal in the 2023 edition.

    "You can say this is my third innings (in chess) because I had taken a break after my daughter was born and then again after COVID when I didn't play very actively in online chess for more than a year. For the last one year, I have been struggling a lot as a player," she told IANS.
