Impressive Performance by R Vaishali
India's R Vaishali Rameshbabu has taken the sole lead in the FIDE Candidates 2026 women's section after a draw in the 10th round, showcasing impressive form. Vaishali's consistent performance has put her in a strong position to win the championship.
However, compatriots Divya Deshmukh and R Praggnanandhaa faced setbacks in their respective matches. Divya's endgame collapse likely ended her championship hopes, while Praggnanandhaa's tactical misstep against Sindarov cost him dearly, impacting India's overall challenge.
Setbacks for Indian Players
Divya Deshmukh's loss has made it difficult for her to catch up with the leaders, and her chances of winning the championship seem slim. On the other hand, R Praggnanandhaa's mistake against Sindarov has put him under pressure, and he will need to perform exceptionally well in the remaining rounds to stay in contention.
Despite the setbacks, India's R Vaishali remains in a strong position to win the championship. With four rounds to go, Vaishali will look to maintain her lead and bring home the title.
Data is the new oil. It's valuable, but if unrefined it cannot really be used.
