Saturday 2006 Asian Games (Chess) Women's Rapid Koneru also helped India's "Mixed Team (Classical)" to a Gold Medal. Darlings, I haven't visited the official website for the Asian Games (I suppose I should); it appears, looking over the final standings of this event at TWIC, that at least one of the players on each Team had to be a female. That India beat China in this event - wow, I think that's outstanding given the number of strong players (male and female) China has fielded in recent years. Reported December 4, 2006 DOHA, Qatar: Koneru Humpy claimed India's first gold medal of the 2006 Asian Games with a win in the women's rapid format chess competition. Humpy, 19, defeated Kazakhstan's Dana Aketayeva in the ninth round of the rapid Swiss format to finish with eight points. The silver medal went to China's Zhao Xue, who defeated Indonesian Irine Sukandar in the last round, but finished half a point behind Humpy. Qatar's Chen Zhu got the bronze. The men's singles gold went to Kazakhstan grandmaster Murtas Kazhgalevey, whose final-round victory over Indian grandmaster Krishnan Sasikiran took him to 7.5 points — half a point clear of Vietnam's Thien Hai Dao and Bu Xiangzhi of China. Chess is making its debut in the Asian Games, the first time the game has become a medal sport in a multiple-sport event. The singles events were played on the rapid format, but the players will return to the classic format for the team competition. The team event will feature mixed teams comprising at least one woman out of three players. Stung by a loss Sunday to Zhao Xue, Humpy won all three of her matches Monday to stay on top of the women's table. "I'm delighted, my aim was to win the gold and I was confident of getting it," Humpy said. This victory is very important to me, chess is becoming an important sport in India," said Humpy, who earlier this year won the World junior championship and also became the youngest player ever to clinch the British women's chess championship. "I've got a lot of ambitions, I want to win the world championship and start competing in men's tournaments." Coached by her father, she began playing chess when she was five. Her collection of honors started with a title in the world under-10 championships in 1997. (END) Russian
