World rapid chess champion Koneru Humpy has won the BBC Indian Sportswoman-of-the-Year award, according to a media release on Tuesday.
“This award is very precious, not only to me but the entire chess fraternity. Being an indoor game, chess doesn’t get as much attention as sports like cricket in India,” Humpy said from Vijayawada. “But, with this award, I hope, the game will draw people’s attention.”
