The silver medal Koneru Humpy's 9-year-old daughter will remember as gold

Remarkably, this was the first time in her young life she was going to see her mother play a competitive game of chess in person. "This is our first edition of GCL," Anvesh told TimesofIndia.com, smiling as he recalled this was his second after a tournament in Russia. "Humpy is able to balance both sport and family," Anvesh said. But whenever she's out of the tournament, she always gives priority to family, spending time with me, with our kid. Ahana, however, was all smiles as she made her way out of the playing venue, clutching her father's hand.
