Correct Answer - Option 4 : Koneru Humpy

The correct answer is Koneru Humpy.

  • In October 2007, Koneru became the second female player, after Polgár, to exceed the 2600 Elo rating mark, being rated 2606.
  • Koneru became the first Indian woman chess player to cross the 2600 ELO rating.
  • Koneru Humpy is an Indian chess player who is also a reigning women's world rapid champion.
  • In 2002, she became the youngest woman ever to achieve the title of Grandmaster at the age of 15 years, 1 month, 27 days, beating Judit Polgár's previous record by three months.


  • Leon Mendonca, who achieved the feat at 14 years, 9 months, and 17 days, is the second Grand Master from the coastal State.
  • Goa's 14-year-old Leon Mendonca has become India's 67th chess Grandmaster by winning the third and final norm at a tournament in Italy.
