All the very best to her for the World Championship match!

It's amazing - hoping both Gukesh and Vaishali bring home double victories in their championship clashes.

[Tejas]

What a performance from Vaishali! She won the final round and secured a chance to challenge the reigning world champion. Best wishes, and can't wait to see another Indian woman become world champion.

Yes! I'm not a big chess fan, but I always try to keep track of her career.
