Koneru Humpy Humpy is also the first Indian woman to achieve the men's GM title.
"The presidential board meeting of FIDE, which met on September 8 in the
Kremlin, Moscow, found her claim for the title as genuine and conferred the
GM norm on her," says FIDE vice-president P T Ummer Koya. The governing
body had examined the ratings and category of the tournaments she played to

World Chess Cup planned for October in India.
