Batumi, July 22 -- The first games of both the International Chess Federation (FIDE) Women's World Cup featuring Indian grandmasters Koneru Humpy and Divya Deshmukh ended in draws on Tuesday.

The results from the first game were shared on the official X handle of FIDE.

Humpy's first game with China's Lei Tingjie ended in a draw at 0.5-0.5 each, and so did the other semifinal first game between China's Tan Zhongyi and Divya with a similar scoreline.
