FIDE Women's World Cup Final Tie-break: Humpy vs Divya live time, streaming
After two intensely fought draws between seasoned Grandmaster Koneru Humpy and prodigious teenager IM Divya Deshmukh, the FIDE Women's World Cup 2025 will be decided in nail-biting tie-breaks on Monday in Batumi. With the classical games unable to produce a winner, the tie-break format promises drama and nerves as both Indians vie for the champion's trophy and a $50,000 prize. Humpy, 38, brings decades of elite experience and recently survived a dramatic semi-final tie-break. Her steely composure and endgame technique make her a formidable opponent in rapid and blitz formats—formats where knowledge and control of nerves matter most. However, 19-year-old Deshmukh has already made a splash with fearless, aggressive play, routinely upsetting higher-rated rivals with speed and tactical sharpness. FIDE Women's World Cup 2025 Final Tie-breaker: Format The tie-break round of the FIDE Women's World Cup 2025 Final will begin with two rapid games (10 minutes plus 10-second increment per move). If still tied, a second pair of rapid games at a faster pace (5 minutes plus 3-second increment) will follow. Should the deadlock remain, the players will face a blitz duel (3 minutes plus 2-second increment)—repeated in sudden-death style until there is a winner. The tie-breaker of FIDE Women's World Cup 2025 will take place on Monday, July 28. Who will play in the tie-breaker of FIDE Women's World Cup 2025 final?

FIDE Women's World Cup Final Game 2: Koneru vs Divya live time & streaming
The FIDE Women's World Cup 2025 Final heads into a pivotal Game 2 in Batumi, with Indian stars Koneru Humpy and Divya Deshmukh locked at 0.5–0.5 after a fiercely contested opening game. Both players showed nerves of steel in Game 1, with Divya (playing White) springing an unexpected opening and Humpy matching her move for move in a tense, dynamic 41-move battle that ultimately ended in a draw. For Game 2, the stakes are immense: whoever wins will become the first Indian to claim the Women's World Cup crown, capping one of the most significant breakthroughs in Indian chess history. Humpy, with decades of elite experience and a reputation for resilience in long matches, will have the White pieces and a subtle edge in the classical format. She is coming off a draining run of knockout victories, including a dramatic tie-break triumph over Lei Tingjie in the semi-finals. Divya, only 19, has played fearlessly throughout the tournament, scalping higher seeds with aggressive play and bold preparation. Her ability to generate imbalances and seize the initiative—even under time pressure—suggests she won't shy away from risk in this all-or-nothing decider. However, if the seccond game of the final between the two sides also ends in a draw they will then face each other again on Monday, July 28 in tie-breaker round.
