In the women's tournament China, which brought its best team to Baku, is favorite to win Gold.

In the first round China is playing against Luxemburg and top board Ju Wenjun, number two on the women's world ranking list is playing againstFiona Steil-Antoni.
Second seed is not Russia but Ukraine. In the first round the Ukranian women play against Portugal, the Russian team plays against Scotland.
