International Master (IM) Divya Deshmukh, who became a Grandmaster after winning the Women's Chess World Cup 2025, said, "I think it was fate, me getting the Grandmaster title this way." "Because before this [tournament], I didn't even have one [GM] norm, and now I'm the Grandmaster," she added. The 19-year-old defeated India's Grandmaster Koneru Humpy in tiebreaks in the final.
