"Because Of Covid" Grandmaster Koneru Humpy Unsure Of Competing At Asian games In China
Double Asian Games gold medallist Grandmaster Koneru Humpy is unsure about her participation in the continental event later this year as it is being held in the Chinese city of Hangzhou, saying she'll make up her mind closer to the showpiece event. Humpy was a teenager when she won the women's individual and mixed team gold at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha. Being one of the top India woman chess exponents – the other being D. Harika – Humpy should be the automatic choice to make the India team for the Hangzhou Games scheduled to commence on September 23. But Humpy, told PTI on the sidelines of the FIDE Women's Grand Prix, which concluded here on Wednesday, that she was “unhappy" that the Asian Games were happening in China.
