FIDE Women's Candidates Tournament 2024
Mark Crowther - Tuesday 2nd April 2024
The FIDE Women's Candidates Tournament takes place alongside the Candidates tournament in Toronto 3 April to 22 April 2024. The same format as the open event, double round robin with play starting 14:30 local 19:30 BST. The winner will play the current Women's World Chess Champion Ju Wenjun for the title in 2025.
Players: Lei Tingjie, Kateryna Lagno, Aleksandra Goryachkina, Nurgyul Salimova, Anna Muzychuk, R Vaishali, Tan Zhongyi and Koneru Humpy.
Tan Zhongyi is the clear winner of the Women's Candidates 2024 (14)
Tan Zhongyi will challenge Ju Wenjun for the World Chess Championship in 2025. The 32 year old player was not the favourite for the event but her confident play dominated with only a round 8 loss to her closest challenger Lei Tingjie as a blemish in the event. In the final round Tan played a very sharp Sicilian against Anna Muzychuk. Tan secured a big advantage but steered the game to the draw she needed. Lei needed a win and played an amazing Queen sacrifice against Humpy Koneru. Eventually her compensation disappeared and she subsided to a loss.
