9 May 2009
Congratulations to Humpy Koneru for her nice perfomance in the 2nd Mayors Cup International Open Chess Tournament, that was held in Mumbai from May 1 till May 9, 2009!
The field was comprised of over 10 men grandmasters, and Humpy did much better than just hold her own, she finished in the top spots 1-4, with a performance of 2640, and without losing a single game, that’s great! She continues to prove that she is playing in the 2600+ range, a good sign for the future.
I wish Humpy well for her future tournaments!
