Koneru Humpy secured a bronze medal at the World Rapid Championship after an undefeated run, but missed out on gold due to a tie-break rule. Humpy drew her final round from a winning position, leading to a three-way tie. While Humpy stated the rule, which differs from the men's section, was not unfair to her, she suggested it would be better if women had the same tie-break opportunities as men to play for the gold medal.
