Ju Wenjun beat Vaishali\u00a0 0.5-2.5 in the semi-final.<\/p>\n<p>Ju Wenjun went on to claim the world title as she pipped her compatriot\u00a0 Lei Tingjie 3.5-2.5.<\/p>\n<p>India&#8217;s legendary chess player and the vice-president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), Viswanathan Anand, took to X to congratulate Vaishali on her memorable feat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Congratulations to Vaishali for taking bronze. Her qualification was truly a power packed performance. Our Waca Chess mentee (WestBridge Anand Chess Academy) has done us proud,&#8221; the five-time world champion wrote on &#8216;X&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are so happy to be supporting her and her chess. What a way to wrap up 2024. In 2021, we thought we would get stronger chess players but here we have it a World Champion (Humpy) and a Bronze medallist (Vaishali)!&#8221; he wrote.    <\/p>\n<p>In the &#8216;Open&#8217; section, Norway&#8217;s Magnus Carlsen was forced to share the Blitz title with Russia&#8217;s Ian Nepomniachtchi. The world number one, Carlsen couldn&#8217;t pull off the victory as three sudden-death games failed to produce an outcome.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We reached a point where it had been a long day. We played many games, we had three draws and I felt that I could keep playing. But it was a nice solution to share the win, it was a good way to end it,&#8221; Carlsen was quoted as saying by PTI.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/other\/r-praggnanandhaa-sister-vaishali-clinches-bronze-in-world-blitz-championship-for-india-2025-01-01-968961\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY IMAGES R Vaishali.
