Indian Grandmaster Koneru Humpy claimed the World Women’s Rapid Chess Championship title after drawing the Armageddon game against China’s Lei Tingjie in Moscow on Saturday.
Rapid Chess Championship is a tournament played under rapid time controls. Each player is given less time to consider their moves when compared to normal tournaments. Armageddon chess is a particular variation in which different rules apply for each of the two players.
The tournament was held by FIDE, the international organisation that connects the various national chess federations globally.
