Soumya Swaminathan (born 1989) is a chess player holding the title of International Master (IM) and Woman Grandmaster (WGM) from India. She won the World Junior Girls' Championship 2009 held in Puerto Madryn, Argentina, edging out Deysi Cori and Betül Cemre Yıldız on tiebreak score.[1][2] She withdrew from the chess championships held in Iran in 2018 as a protest against the compulsory headscarf rule for women by Irans Islamic government.

Life

Soumya Swaminathan was the Indian junior girls' champion in 2005, 2006 and 2008. She won the 2010 Indian women's championship with a score of 8½/11.[3] She became the Commonwealth women's champion in 2012 in Chennai.[4] In 2016, she tied for the first place in the women's section of the Moscow Open with Anastasia Bodnaruk and Alexandra Obolentseva, finishing second on tiebreak.[5] Soumya won the bronze medal in the Women's Asian Individual Championship 2016.

Indian women's team finished 4th in the 2012 Olympiad, thereby winning the 1st prize in the A category, and 5th in the 2016 edition.

She has represented India twice at the Women's World Championships, in 2010 and 2012. She opted herself out of the Asian Team Chess Championship, to be held in Hamadan, Iran, from 26 July – 4 August 2018, characterizing Iran's compulsory headscarf rule as a violation of her personal rights.[6] She crossed 2400 for the 1st time in the October 2018 rating list, thereby completing the requirements for the International Master (Open) title. She also entered the Women's World top 50 for the 1st time in the same list.
