photoDetails english 2938299 At just 19, Divya Deshmukh made history by winning the 2025 FIDE Women's World Cup, defeating veteran Grandmaster Koneru Humpy in a thrilling final. With this victory, she earned $50,000 in prize money and became the fourth Indian woman to achieve the prestigious Grandmaster title. However, the stark pay disparity between the men's and women's chess tournaments drew sharp focus—Divya's prize was less than half of what the Open category champion receives. Her triumph has reignited discussions on gender pay inequality in chess and spotlighted India's growing dominance in global women's chess. Learn more about Divya's remarkable journey and earnings. Updated:Jul 29, 2025, 08:26 AM IST 1. Divya Deshmukh Won $50,000 for Her Historic Triumph 1 / 13 By winning the 2025 FIDE Women's World Cup, 19-year-old Divya Deshmukh earned a top prize of $50,000 (approx. ₹41.6 lakh) — the highest payout in the women's tournament. 2. Koneru Humpy Took Home $35,000 as Runner-Up 2 / 13 Veteran grandmaster Koneru Humpy, who finished second, received $35,000 (approx. ₹29.1 lakh) — showcasing a steep drop from the winner's purse but still a significant reward. 3. Women's Winner Earns Less Than Half of Open Champion 3 / 13 Despite similar formats, the Open World Cup winner receives $110,000, while the Women's World Cup champion gets just $50,000 — highlighting a glaring gender-based pay gap. 4. Total Women's Prize Pool Was $691,250 4 / 13 The FIDE Women's World Cup 2025 had a total prize pool of $691,250, distributed across all rounds. This amount remains smaller compared to the Open section's multimillion-dollar pool. 5. D Gukesh Earned 22 Times More for Winning the World Championship 5 / 13 In contrast, D Gukesh earned ₹11.45 crore (approx. $1.37 million) for winning the 2024 FIDE World Championship — making Divya's $50,000 less than 4% of his prize. 6. FIDE's Structured Payout Rewards All Round Participants 6 / 13 Prize money is awarded progressively — starting from $3,750 for Round 1 and rising through each stage, ensuring every player in the knockout format is compensated for performance. 7. Prize Money Has Remained Stagnant Since 2021 7 / 13 While the 2025 Women's World Cup saw a minor increase in the total prize pool, the top prize of $50,000 remains unchanged since 2021 — raising concerns over FIDE's financial prioritization. 8. Women Can Compete in Open Events — But Few Do 8 / 13 Although female players can qualify for the Open World Cup, most opt for the women's section due to fewer slots and stiffer competition in the open category, affecting their earnings potential. 9. Equal Format, Unequal Pay: The Debate Grows Louder 9 / 13 Both men's and women's events follow the same format and time control, yet offer unequal rewards. This continues to fuel demands for equal prize money in global chess events. 10. Divya's Win Has Sparked National Discussion on Pay Parity 10 / 13 Divya Deshmukh's earnings and the visible gap with male counterparts have reignited the debate on gender equity in sports — making her victory both a personal and political milestone. 11 / 13 12 / 13 13 / 13

Paul George's classy move breaks locker-room ritual as he refused to haze rookie VJ Edgecombe

Paul George. Image via: Charlie Neibergall/ AP Rookie hazing has been a long-standing tradition in the NBA . In a league where rookie hazing still lingers as an unspoken rite of passage, Paul George just broke the tradition. During a recent episode of his Podcast P, the nine-time All-Star took the high road by refusing to haze newly drafted Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe. His kindhearted gesture was a moment of mutual respect, subtle mentorship, and an early sign that George's leadership in Philly might go well beyond the box score. Paul George trades pranks for praise and sets a new tone It all started when Edgecombe, the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, appeared on Podcast P. George introduced the 19-year-old with a big smile, 'My young fella, my rook, VJ Edgecombe.' The vibe was lighthearted, co-host Jackie Long even teased the rookie, urging George to make him fetch drinks. VJ Edgecombe on Sixers Expectations, Wild Draft Workouts, Battling Cooper Flagg & more But George wasn't playing that game. 'Not yet. Good start. We gonna take a little break,' he said, diffusing the moment without turning it into a locker-room ritual. Instead of reinforcing outdated traditions, George offered him trust. George has consistently dismissed over-the-top rookie duties. "I'm simple. Carry my PlayStation, man, we good,' he once joked to Jared McCain. It's a stark contrast to the old-school tactics of NBA veterans like Shaquille O'Neal, who once infamously defecated in a teammate's sneakers. George commented on that incident with disbelief, 'I ain't seen nothing like that, bro. That's over the top.' 'Bring what you do. Be you,' George told him. 'We're going to adapt to you.' VJ Edgecombe is already turning heads with skill and mentality Edgecombe, a standout at Baylor and Big 12 Freshman of the Year, is more than just hype. He brings a blend of athleticism and defensive edge that the Sixers desperately need. George recognized that immediately after Edgecombe's pre-draft workout. 'By the end of that day, they were like, 'We know who we're taking.' VJ's our guy,' he revealed. On Podcast P, he openly admitted to hating the cramped, slow style of college basketball. 'I was also dealing with two centers… I got no space to operate,' he said. Now, with NBA spacing and pace, he feels free to play to his strengths: explosive drives, strong transition play, and secondary creation. Despite a thumb sprain limiting his Summer League minutes, Edgecombe averaged 21.5 points and looked NBA-ready. George sees that. And instead of molding him into a quiet role player, he's giving him permission to shine from day one. In a locker room with stars like Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, Edgecombe doesn't need to be humbled. He needs to be empowered. And Paul George, with 16 years of NBA wisdom, just might be the perfect veteran to make that happen.

George prefers building trust and respect over outdated hazing traditions. What did Paul George say about VJ Edgecombe's fit with the Sixers? 'You bring what we need… You're play-now, ready-now basketball,' George said. How did VJ Edgecombe perform in Summer League? He averaged 21.5 points in two games before being sidelined with a thumb sprain. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
