Divya Deshmukh Makes History as First Indian in FIDE Women's World Cup Final

At just 19, India’s Divya Deshmukh has etched her name in chess history, becoming the first Indian to reach the FIDE Women’s World Cup 2025 final in Batumi, Georgia. Outplaying former World Champion Tan Zhongyi in a gripping 1.5-0.5 semifinal victory, she secured a spot in the 2026 Candidates Tournament. Deshmukh’s fearless tactics also earned her a Grandmaster norm, edging her closer to India’s fourth female GM title. With an all-Indian final possible if Koneru Humpy advances, India’s chess dominance shines. Celebrate this trailblazer’s triumph!
