Says she is glad to have done well in Speed Chess
It was a profitable month of working from home for Dronavalli Harika. Finishing runner-up at the Women’s Speed Chess Championship on Saturday made her richer by ₹9.28 lakh. The superb performance has come as a huge morale-booster ahead of the World Cup, starting in Sochi, Russia, on July 10. “I am glad I could do well in a strong tournament like Speed Chess, in which most of the best players took part,” Harika told The Hindu over phone on Monday.
