India cae en el ranking del Índice de igualdad de género en el ajedrez 2026 de la FIDE

India ha caído en el ranking del Índice de Igualdad de Género en el Ajedrez 2026 (GECI) publicado por la FIDE, lo que resalta las brechas en la participación, el rendimiento y el progreso de las mujeres en comparación con las mejoras globales. Un análisis del Times of India señala problemas sistémicos y pide reformas para impulsar el equilibrio de género.

El GECI 2026, la segunda edición de la Comisión de Mujeres en el Ajedrez de la FIDE y la Universidad de Queensland, clasifica a 119 federaciones en participación (proporción de jugadoras con rating), rendimiento (brecha en el rating Elo) y progreso (niñas en eventos juveniles). Aunque las puntuaciones globales aumentaron en todas las regiones —con un promedio de 64,5 en Asia— y Mongolia lideró con 89,26, la posición de India empeoró, según detalla un informe del Times of India desde Nueva Delhi alrededor del Día Internacional de la Mujer. Autor Jyotirmoy Halder critica la falta de un sistema estructurado en el ajedrez indio: «No hay un sistema en el ajedrez indio que produzca campeones. Básicamente, son los esfuerzos de los padres y los jugadores los que están en marcha.» El artículo insta a cambios sistémicos para abordar las deficiencias, aunque no se especifican las clasificaciones y cifras exactas para India. Palabras clave como 'indian chess', 'gender equality' y 'FIDE' enfatizan el impulso por una mayor participación de las mujeres. Este análisis centrado en India complementa la visión general global del GECI, subrayando la necesidad de acciones específicas en medio del progreso mundial.
