Chennai: Life has not been easy for D Harika in the last few years.While Indian woman No. 2 Granmaster dealt with rivals on 64 squares, she also increased her “little princess” Hanvik. When he plays abroad, more often than not, Hari can not have Hanvik around, but playing in Chennai is different. The Hyderabad woman will spend time with her two -year -old daughter, even though she is trying to do well at the 10 -day Chennai Grand Masters.“I am extremely happy to play near my home. Actually, this is the first time I came up with my daughter for a tournament. This event gives me a chance to come up with my family,” said Harika, who will be the glory in the Challenger section.“Chennai is so close to her place and I can send her back home (if necessary). I’m glad my daughter could witness her life.

Harika admitted that she felt guilty whenever she stays far from her child when he’s on chess duty. “Every mother will relate to it. I always blame when I leave my daughter back home. Of course I would like to take her everywhere, but the weather and food are different. There are also a lot of trouble,” Harika said.She chose the World Championship D Gukesh as the “best” nanny in the current crop of Indian young people. “I saw Gukesh doing it in Delhi, and I was really surprised at how he managed the children. I really didn’t know and I was very impressed by his ways of handling.”“I want to question myself”: Harika gave her the disappointment of the World Cup feminine with the eventual champion Divy Deshmukh in the quarterfinals-she wants to show her Mettle in Chennai. “I don’t take my heart results. I’m ambitious, but I never think there is the last tournament to focus on. When I got an invitation to Chennai Grand Masters, I was glad I got this chance.
