Hi Shanthi,

to start this thread......
I would like to say cheers to chess player KONERU HUMPY...
In July 2006, she reached Women's world number 2 with Elo rate of 2545.
In 2001 she became India's youngest Grandmaster and then won the World Junior titles later that year.
The following year,, she became the first women player from India to gain the Men's GrandMaster title.....

to her father who gave up his teaching job to help his child sharpen her skill in the game
