Chess player Vaishali Rameshbabu followed in the family tradition by becoming a grandmaster on Friday.

Vaishali, 22, became only the third woman in India to earn the title, but she is not the first in her family to achieve such a feat.

Her brother, Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu, became one of the youngest grandmasters in history in 2018 at the age of 12. Together, the siblings have now become the first brother and sister duo to become grandmasters, according to Chess.com.
