R. Vaishali scores 5 wins in a row and finishes joint second in her first Candidates

It was the first Candidates appearance for R. Vaishali as she came to Toronto. She started slowly and after 9 rounds was in the last position with 2.5/9. Little did she know what was in store for her. She scored 5.0/5 and finished joint 2nd with 7.5/14 at the Candidates. We interview Vaishali to understand what really changed that helped her to beat Salimova, Goryachkina, Muzychuk, Lei Tingjie and Lagno!

What a comeback by Vaishali, From being at bottom of the table to joint 2nd place🌟Really phenomenal🧡She definitely has potential to become future Women world champion🧡🏹

[@kumarnkvc]

Both Vaishali and Humpy's powerful comeback to 2'nd place was awesome to witness. As an Indian this is very overwhelming.

[@prayagagarwal5030]

Vaishali reminds me of Gukesh from 1-2 years ago. Super strong, capable of beating anyone on his day, stringing together big win streaks, but also having many unexpected losses. Looking at Gukesh's performance in Chennai GM and of course Candidates, it seems like he has found the fine balance between going for the kill when the opportunity arises but also knowing when to be solid. Let's hope Vaishali can also find this balance soon and then I believe she will be a monstrously strong, unstoppable player. Overall great performance from her finishing joint 2nd in her first Candidates

Vaishali did not even take a second before acknowledging Humpi's and Harika's contributions ❤❤❤❤

[@JackPrestrud]

I followed Vaishali's amazing results. She has major chess talent and she has a strong mind. Her example inspires me to do better at overcoming adversity-- an important skill for both chess and real life.

Vaishali you clever young thing 🎉❤ Congratulations.

[@Stonefalconetti]

Having something that looks like a Vel in the background behind her while i'm watching this video on Sittirai cavedee day is so coincidental and fulfilling....😅

[@abhijeetsinghparihar]

God level comeback by vaishali 🚩💯🔥

[@TheMrBennito]

Brother and sister not only extremely talented , their mental strength also sets them apart

[@yourstruly1234]

It was probably nerves which made her struggle in initial rounds..

[@b25671]

Girl, just be yourself... You're amazing!
