NAGPUR: Once a princess in the game of 64 squares, Divya Deshmukh has now become a queen by wearing the Woman Grandmaster (WGM) crown which sparkled all the more with the addition of her second International Master (IM) norm.
In her first overthe-board (OTB) outing post a 19-month pandemic break, the 16-year-old Divya continued from where she left off and became Vidarbha’s first and India’s 22nd WGM.
She achieved the rare feat while playing in an international rating tournament at Budapest, Hungary
