ALT Then the Magarpatta branch shut down. Most would’ve taken it as a sign to quit. Vedant didn’t. He started commuting 15 km to our Karvenagar centre every weekend. No complaints. Just commitment. There were setbacks. Many. But he didn’t chase ratings or wins. He chose to focus on the process. He kept doing the boring, consistent work. Progress was happening in the background. And now… He’s got his first FIDE Rapid Rating. It’s a milestone. Not the finish line. Vedant, this is just the beginning. You’re just getting started. Let’s go.

ALT And she did it by defeating a legend — Koneru Humpy — in the finals. A true generational clash. One that gave us goosebumps. But this wasn’t just a win. It was a message. To every player who stayed back. Practiced longer. Believed harder. Divya becomes India’s 88th Grandmaster with this win. Let that sink in. You don’t need noise. You don’t need validation. You just need to show up. Every single day. Even when no one’s watching. Because one day — The world will. Take a bow, Divya Deshmukh. You didn’t just play. You inspired.
