I was struck by the irony of this photograph from the blog coverage of news from the Championship, showing a giant mural of GM Koneru Humpy hovering over the players in the background. Humpy has not played for the women's national title for several years. I understand her reasoning for not playing, but at the same time, I think it's very sad for India.
