Reigning champion Anna Muzychuk will return to the Norway Chess Women tournament in 2026 to defend her title. The Ukrainian grandmaster, a three-time world champion in rapid and blitz chess, aims for a second consecutive victory. The event, held in Oslo, promotes gender equality in professional chess.
Grandmaster Koneru Humpy has pulled out of the FIDE Women's Candidates tournament in Cyprus, citing safety worries amid Middle East tensions. FIDE confirmed GM Anna Muzychuk as her replacement for the event starting March 29 in Paphos. The winner will challenge reigning champion Ju Wenjun.
