Indian GM Koneru Humpy in the final game that made her the sole winner

Final standings (after eleven rounds)

Koneru Humpy, born 31 March 1987 in Gudivada, Andhra Pradesh, is the strongest ever female chess player from India, contesting the title of second-highest ranked female player in history with her main rival, Chinese GM Hou Yifan. Humpy was the second female player ever, after Judit Polgár, to exceed the 2600 Elo mark. From 2002 through 2008, Humpy held the record as the youngest woman ever to become a full grandmaster, which she achieved at the age of 15 years, 1 month, 27 days, beating Judit Polgár's previous mark by three months. However, this has since been surpassed by Hou Yifan.

Humpy was originally named "Hampi" by her parents, who derived the name from the word "champion". Her father later changed the spelling to Humpy, to more closely resemble a Russian-sounding name. Her friends call her Humpy, and formally she is referred to as Ms Humpy.

In 2001 Humpy won the World Junior Girls Chess Championship. In 2006 she participated in the Women's World Chess Championship, but was eliminated in the second round. In the Women's World Chess Championship 2008 she made it to the semifinals, but was beaten by Hou Yifan. Humpy participated in the FIDE Women's Grand Prix 2009–2011 and finished in overall second position, qualifying as challenger for Women's World Chess Championship 2011. She was defeated by the reigning WWCh Hou Yifan.

Organiser Smbat Lputian and Nona Gaprindashvili hand over the winner's check to Koneru Humpy (with Anna Muzychuk and Nana Dzagnidze (in places two and three) looking on.

GM Nona Gaprindashvili was the sixth Women's World Champion, from 1962–1978
