Norway Chess Women: Reigning champion Anna Muzychuk is set to return to defend her Norway Chess Women’s title and possibly win for the second time in a row. Since the tournament started in 2024, Muzychuk has participated in both editions and has emerged as a key figure in the competition.
Muzychuk, a three-time world champion in fast chess, secured the Women’s World Rapid Championship title in 2016 and the Women’s World Blitz Championship twice, in 2014 and 2016. She has also been a Women’s World Championship finalist and is one of just six women in chess history to have surpassed a rating of 2600.
