"For your country you just have to give it your all," Divya Deshmukh, Team India

[@_wakanda_forever]

Divya, I already knew she would bring consistent wins but Vantika also developed good amount of respect for her consistency in my perspective.....

[@georgeray649]

I support Vantika, every game she is like just on the board with those glasses. She doesn't look away. She will have a bright future.

[@critical_analysis]

@@georgeray649 Yeah, she seems very disciplined and focused. That's what is needed in chess, absolute focus and discipline to succeed at the top level. They have a best role model in Viswanathan Anand;

[@simon-gh1pt]

​@@critical_analysiswhat about Arjun?Chess doesn't mean you have to stare at board for long. Every chess player has their own style.

[@critical_analysis]

@@simon-gh1pt Of course, what I was talking about was she seems glued to chess and chess related activities itself, and not seen her any podcasts or something other than chess like that. Of course, every player has their own style, Kaspy used to bang the doors and slam the doors when he was losing or upset.

[@guruM23]

This is just the beginning. Divya will shine much more in the coming years 🎉

[@SudarshanIyer-y9d]

I want Divya, Vantika, and/or Vaishali to follow Judit's footsteps .... I really really wish they could get a 2700+ rating We're lucky to have them on Indian team 🎉🎉🎉

[@varunRJ]

I like your optimism but that’s not gonna happen

[@SudarshanIyer-y9d]

@@varunRJ You can't achieve things that you don't believe in. I think a lot of Indians including me believe in them. It would also be great for Women's chess and Chess in general.

"Even i didn't find it." That girl has some confidence

[@v4l4r_m0rghul15]

Each state in India speaks a different language and with that comes a different accent. Not every Indian sounds like the stereotypical "South Indian" accent that world knows so well.

[@joyid]

Our stereotypical accent is not exclusive to the South. It's a common misconception. Anyone who doesn't make an effort to improve their pronunciation may exhibit the stereotypical accent. Many people here simply lack the motivation to correct their speech.

[@joyid]

Neeraj Chopra and Manu Bhaker are from the same place, but they talk very differently. Neeraj Chopra has trouble saying words clearly and doesn't try very hard to fix it. Manu Bhaker, on the other hand, talks much better and has a clearer accent. This shows that even people from the same area can speak very differently.

[@v4l4r_m0rghul15]

@@joyid Who cares? accept the accent and move on

[@sirg3137]

​​​@v4l4r_m0rghul15 bro other people are make fun our all accent and our all accent are very similar. I am bengali. hope our people don't divide. We need to United. We need to tackle all this things. so don't fight with your own people then other people will take advantage. Like what happen in past

[@sanketghorpade4066]

Thats because each and every language of india has it's own accent to speak english...

[@rtos]

What so you mean? Should everyone have a strong regional accent and only then they are truly Indian?

[@yogeshbhogta7052]

🎉🎉🎉❤❤

[@Toopa88]

Why aren't the best female players in the tournament though? Both China and Ukraine didn't bringt their top players. Is it to take a break and/or give other players a chance to get tournament experience? I wonder how Divya would have performed against the big guns, because she almost exclusively played against 2300s while being almost 2500 ELO.

[@neerajnongmaithem392]

Maybe previous commitments or unavailability. Its important to note that not all players are pursuing chess full time, some of them might have a day job.

[@Philopantheon82]

How did Tania perform?

[@neerajnongmaithem392]

2500 now, has she got a GM norm now ?

Why the fake accent?

not all Indians have the same accent bro. Who knew when we speak different languages we will have different accents.

[@fun_g]

It's not called a fake accent it's called articulate speaking.

[@Maverick-gq2yv]

@@Sid-ge9vb Yes, I know everyone has their own accent. But you can easily figure out there is difference in the accent when you see her talking elsewhere.

Since india has many different languages...so english has various accents in india influenced by the particular language...

[@priyanshgautam9971]

Why is she faking her accent like that , it feels she's trying to sound slavic 😭😂

[@agnosticatheist4093]

It happens unintentionally sometimes when you surrounded with foreigners

[@vik24oct1991]

this is how marathi people speak, not everyone in india have same accent, she does have bit of foreign accent but I can clearly detect her marathi accent so it is not faking.

[@sevendunks9024]

That's not slavic accent that is Maharashtrian Accent... You will find Vidith Gujarathi or any other Marathi player's accent almost similar to her's.

[@rtos]

Why do people say she's faking accent? Do they really know how people speak English all over India? There are several schools throughout the country which have a hybrid Indian & old school Brit influence which results in an accent just like this.

[@harishpetrucci]

This is not Slavic accent. The reporter was talking in a Slavic accent. She is talking in an Indian accent.
