KONERU HUMPY

Humpy Koneru (born 31 March 1987 in Gudivada, Andhra Pradesh) is a chess grandmaster from India. Her January 2010 FIDE Elo rating is 2614, placing her number two in the world for women (behind Judit Polgar). In 2007 she broke the record of 2577 set by Susan Polgar for the second-highest ranked female player in Chess history and became the second female player ever, after Judit Polgar, to exceed the 2600 Elo mark.

Humpy was originally named Hampi, (after the ancient city) by her parents, but her father later changed it to Humpy, a more Russian-sounding name. She writes her family name (Koneru) before her given name[citation needed], as is the convention with Telugu speaking people.

From 2002 through 2008, Humpy held the record as the youngest woman ever to become a grandmaster (not merely a Woman Grandmaster), which she achieved at the age of 15 years, 1 month, 27 days, beating Judit Polgar's previous mark by three months; however, this has since been surpassed by Hou Yifan.

In 2001 she won the World Junior Girls Chess Championship. In 2006 she participated in the Women's World Chess Championship, but was eliminated in the second round. In the Women's World Chess Championship 2008 she made it to the semi-finals, but was beaten by Hou Yifan.In 2009 she was involved in a feud with the AICF (ALL India Chess Federation ) .Her father Koneru Ashok who was coaching her was not allowed to travel with her for tournaments .This created a lot of controversy and has not been solved as of now
