Vaishali Overcomes Setbacks, Qualifies for Candidates

Vaishali, a chess player, felt really down after losing many games in Chennai.

She almost didn't play in the Grand Swiss tournament because she was discouraged.

With her family's encouragement, she changed her mind and competed.

She ended up winning the Grand Swiss, which means she's now qualified for the Candidates, a really important chess competition.

She says that her family, especially her brother, helped her to push forward.

She worked really hard this year, and her win in Grand Swiss made everything come together.
