The FIDE World Women’s Team Championship kicked off on September 6 in Bydgoszcz, Poland, with Georgia setting its eyes on increasing even further its impressive track record of victories in women's competitions. The Georgians, headed by Nana Dzagnidze, top the starting list with an average rapid rating of 2391, well ahead of its main competitors, United States (2340) and China (2335).
The competition follows a similar format to the previous edition, held in Sitges, Spain in 2021, with all games played under a rapid time control of 45 minutes for the whole game, with an increment of 10 seconds per move starting from move 1. The twelve teams of four players (plus two reserves) are divided into two pools of approximate strength according to the teams’ average rating.
