Koneru Humpy

Koneru Humpy is a Female Indian Chess Player, and arguably the best woman at the Chess Board that the nation has ever produced. Considered to be at par with Vishwanathan Anand among the Female Chess Players of India, she holds a World No. 2 ranking among the Female Chess Players, lagged behind only by Judit Polgar, the World No. 1 Female Chess Player. She was born on the 31st of March 1987 at Gudivada, a place in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Her father, Ashok Koneru worked as a lecturer in Chemistry and was himself a wonderful Chess Player, having won the South India Open Championship in 1985. Her father soon spotted her extra-ordinary skills in the game and realized she could go way ahead if conditioned properly. In fact, in order to guide her properly and to make sure she gets the best attention for improving her skills as a Chess Player, Ashok took the bold decision of giving up his job to concentrate fully upon Humpy’s Chess career.
