Equal Prize Money In Norway Chess Encourages More Women To Take Up The Sport: Defending Champion Ju Wenjun
"I'm thrilled and excited to play in Norway Chess Women 2025. This will be my second time competing in the event. We have some very strong chess players and opponents this time. I think people are also more familiar now with the Armageddon and the time control format, so I feel the tournament will be even more exciting," the Chinese Grandmaster shared as she gears up for the tournament.
Wenjun, the undisputed queen of chess, clinched her historic fifth consecutive World Championship title earlier this year. Having started playing chess at the age of seven, she turned professional in 2004, earned her Grandmaster title in 2014, and won her first World Championship in 2018. Since then, she has remained unbeaten in women’s classical chess. She is also the reigning Women’s World Blitz Champion and a two-time Women’s World Rapid Champion.
