Find out more about the FIDE Women's World Chess Championship 2025 challenger, GM Tan Zhongyi, in our first preview blog! We will stream every round of the Women's World Championship from 3 to 20 April on our Twitch and YouTube channels - more details coming soon.

GM Anna Muzychuk won the FIDE Women's Grand Prix Nicosia on better tiebreaks than GM Zhu Jiner! Both players drew their games in the final round. IM Olga Badelka could have changed the outcome in favor of GM Zhu Jiner with a win over IM Stavroula Tsolakidou, but missed her chance in a complicated endgame.
