So let us tell you today that month regarding La who rules the chess pieces, be it the king or the wazir all dancing around on their fingers to make the front four eat:
Name is Koneru Hampi
The understanding of chess came at a very young age
In the age at which Hampi did not even think of flying, her father started preparing the sky for him. Hampi was born on 31 March 1987 in Gudivada, Andhra Pradesh. Her father Ashok Koneru was a chess player of the national level. Hampi is fond of playing chess and understanding of pieces from her father. Perhaps with the birth of Hampi, her father had dreamed of her victory, then she named her Hampi. In foreign language Hampi means victorious. When Hampi started to understand the world a little bit, then the first thing that came in front of him was chess. When the father is a chess player, then why should not the attention of the children come to this? By the time she reached the age of five, Hampi had a good understanding and understanding of chess pieces.
Parents always be together
Then Hampi must have been 6 years old when her father was playing chess with someone and he told him a trick. Ashok’s surprise did not remain because the move given by Hampi was very accurate. If there was someone else, he would not have realized this talent, but a father, he was also a chess player, it did not take long for him to understand that his daughter is different, so different that if she is given attention then she is not only in the country but in the world She can do her name. What was it then Ashok left his professorship and with his heart and mind started making the daughter a master of chess.
Ashoka also tested Hampi several times but every time he would do the right thing. After this he started coaching chess to Hampi. Along with this, Ashok also taught chess to the other 10 children. Hampi’s parents have made many sacrifices for him. For some reasons, they have to listen to the taunts of their society. There came a time when Ashok felt that Hampi needed a computer. At the same time, a TV was also needed in the house. Now where does a middle class family gather the courage to take both these things at one time. The parents then decided that they would replace the TV with a computer for the daughter. He also took a computer but for this, he had to be a joke among the people. Everyone laughed a lot, but when Hampi became a world winner, now the family laughs at people’s thinking.

Journey started
Hampi’s father was happy to see that her hard work was coming to fruition. At the age of 9, Hampi had told that she has the power to become a winner, not just by name. Yes, it was the year 1996 when Hampi became a national champion at the young age of just 9 years. At the age of 13 Hampi competed in the under-14 category of the national championship of chess. It was a boys’ group in which Hampi became the national winner. It was just the beginning, Hampi’s journey was still long.
Hampi won the Under-10 Championship in 1997, followed by the Girls Under-10 in 1998 as the Under-12 Champion. In 1999, Hampi won the title of becoming the youngest female international master in Asia. She became the Asian Girls Under-20 Champion in 2000 and the Girls Under-14 Champion in 2001. It was only in 2001 that Hampi won the title of Asia’s youngest female Grand Master. Hampi was ready to make its way through Asia all over the world. She won the British Ladies title in 2000 and 2002.
And created history
The achievements you saw above were just steps to reach the success where Hampi created history. In 2002, Hampi was 15 years old. The same year she won the title of Grandmaster. Even more important than winning this title was that Hampi became the youngest winner of the title as soon as she won it. When Hampi took the title of Grandmaster, she was 15 years, 1 month, 27 days. With this, she also became the first Indian woman to win the men’s Grand Master title.
Had to take a break
It is a harsh truth that men are able to keep up with their career moves in almost every situation, while there is a turning point in most women’s lives where they have to take a long break. Any woman can compromise on every kind of situation, but when she gets the pleasure of motherhood, then she has to turn her back on every task of the world and only take care of her child. The same thing happened with Hampi. Hampi got married in 2014 and after that she became the mother of a baby girl in 2017. She stayed away from the chess world over the years.
It is not easy for anyone to come back after a long time and return to their old tune, some people’s careers are completely over after the break. When Hampi also made a comeback, it was not easy for him to become the champion again, but that was the real challenge. After her return, he suffered a series of defeats at the Classical World Championship and the World Rapid Championship, but Hampi was not among the breakers.
Strong back again
It was the year 2019 when Hampi’s victorious chariot once again started gaining momentum. He participated in the World Rapid Chase Championship held in Moscow. Hampi won the title by beating all the players. After this, she also won a spectacular victory in the Cairns Cup. Let us tell you that this championship was attended by the 10 best female chess players in the world.
Hampi’s winning chariot did not stop even amid the lockdown, in July 2020, he defeated World No. 1 Chase player Hou Yifan of China to win the semi-finals of the FIDE Speed Chase Championship. She then won the tie-break against Monica Soko of Poland in the online chess Olympiad in August 2020.
Currently, 32-year-old Koneru Hampi serves as the Chief Manager at ONGC. Viewers may think that Hampi has achieved so many achievements at such a young age, but if Hampi believes, Rapid and Blitz Chase is not her choice but her goal is to win the classic world title. Let us know that in 2005, when Hampi was only 17 years old, she was awarded the Arjuna Award. Along with this, he has also received the Padma Shri Award in 2007.
