I Played a World Champion

Divya Deshmukh is an International Master from India with a live rating of 2500 making her the 20th strongest female chess player in the world.

She is the 2024 Under-20 World Female Champion and recently (September 2024) won the Gold Medal for India in the Chess Olympiad in Budapest, Hungary with a legendary score of 10/11.

This was the best score of any individual on the Indian team and on any board 3 letting her lift India to Gold and herself - winning an individual gold medal for her outstanding performance.

In this video, I had the chance to play Divya before all the fame a few months back in the small island of Menorca, in Spain in which one of the strongest open tournaments of the year was held - The Menorca Open.

After winning our first two games in the Nocturnal blitz side event, Divya and I were paired against each other.

I hope you enjoy the video :)

[Sarabheswaran]

[swapniltelang]

She is called CEO of Indian Chess... Its nothing serious... Its given by the chess fans back here for her dressing sense . It was cute roast

[tortureh]

[agentraydg]

Let's go Divya! You made India proud! 👏👏

[mrrandom]

Perfect time to upload just after she and her team won gold on olympiad

[Shekhar_Gg]

So she uses Magnus carLate gambit too😅

[priyamdubey]

For bro every square is juicy square 😂

3:34 Why were you so defensive here? Must have attacked her Queen with your rook, instead of distortion of your central pawn. Rook-c5 to take the B-c5 and threaten her Queen, that's where you lost.
8:05 Given all the earlier chances, at this point Must have put your Queen against her Queen by playing Q- f5. She would have traded the queens

[pramodkakoriya]

What a good time to remember old game. She is a very good player

[burgessydneyfc]

whenever you can can you make more of those game reviews of the brilliant games, i really enjoy them and reviewing the positions for myself aswell

[saturo_nipon]

she's cute, if you dont play chess

[TheGreatslyfer]

Her bored look was hilarious.

Also, you probably got this already but you do look similar to Alireza.

[ZDTF]

Bro no offense but you really gotta fix your posture
You have a lot of potential
It'll become a big problem the more you age

You don't have to do much
Just start with
Straight posture whenever you notice you are slouching

[maheswarjnair]

If u dont fix ur posture, it will become permanent and u will have to suffer in the future

[jady]

Damn showing your boxers to Divya has to be a life goal. Wish I could do that.

[moshemordechaivanzuiden]

At 5:47 you played Qb2. Why not b5, forcing an exchange of many pieces, taking the wind out of her attack?

[Harishiv]

0:10 someone please tell me where I can see standings of individual boards

[dhanajahari]

You really had a great experience a th her . Now you are not scared to play with her or any world champion. Try your best next time. All The Very Best. 💪💪💪💪
