"I have just started to think about Candidates" - FIDE Grand Swiss winner Vaishali aims for Candidates


R. Vaishali is on the brink of achieving the coveted 2500 Elo rating, a significant step towards earning the title of women's Grandmaster. Despite being only three points away, the youngster is not in a hurry to reach her goal, since she has chosen to skip classical competitions this year.

“I returned to Chennai only on Thursday. I have just started to think about Candidates. I am discussing [this] with my coach, R. B. Ramesh sir and Viswanathan Anand sir. Soon, we will formulate a plan,” Vaishali was quoted as saying by Sportstar after her college, MOP Vaishnav, honored her with a cash prize of Rs. 1 lakh.

Vaishali already is a women's grandmaster (WGM), she is an IM which is a title above WGM. 2500 ELO will get her the GM title.
