Torneo De Candidatas FIDE 2026: Vaishali Rameshbabu (India, 2470)

 

Vaishali Rameshbabu ha forjado su carrera sobre la base de la resistencia, la compostura y la capacidad de rendir al máximo en grandes y exigentes torneos de ajedrez clásico. Como jugadora juvenil sumamente prolífica, obtuvo reconocimiento internacional por primera vez gracias a múltiples títulos mundiales por categorías de edad, antes de dar el salto definitivo a la categoría absoluta. Su victoria en el FIDE Women’s Grand Swiss de 2023 marcó un punto de inflexión, al asegurarle una plaza en el Torneo de Candidatas y convertirla en la tercera mujer india en alcanzar el título de Gran Maestra. Vaishali formó también parte del equipo de la India que conquistó la medalla de oro en la Olimpiada de Ajedrez de 2024. Confirmó su afinidad por los formatos de larga duración al ganar nuevamente el Women’s Grand Swiss en 2025, asegurando así su lugar en el Torneo de Candidatas de 2026 y consolidando su reputación como una de las competidoras más resilientes en los torneos clásicos de larga duración.
