Divya Deshmukh scripted history when she became the first Indian woman to win a FIDE Chess World Cup in classical format. She achieved the feat by defeating Indian compatriot Koneru Humpy in the final. Despite the two classical games ending in a draw, Divya edged past Humpy in the tie-breaker. PM Narendra Modi congratulated Divya and shared best wishes for her and Humpy. But amid this, he addressed Divya as the FIDE Women's World Chess Champion 2025. Netizens spotted it as a mistake and pointed out that Divya is the FIDE Women's World Cup champion, not FIDE Women's World Chess Champion. One becomes the World Champion by winning the World Championship, not the World Cup. Female Grandmasters in India: Here's A List of Women Chess Players Who Attained the Highest Individual Title Awarded By FIDE.
