Chessgames.com Chess Event Description
World Rapid Championship (Women) (2018)

The 2018 King Salman FIDE Women's World Rapid Championship was a 12-round Swiss open taking place in St. Petersburg, Russia from 26-28 December. The prize fund was $150,000, with $40,000 for 1st place. Time control: 15 minutes per player for all moves, with a 10-second increment from move one. If there was a tie for 1st place, the top two players would compete in a playoff match consisting of two 3+2 blitz games. If the score was still level, the players would play a sudden death or Armageddon game (in which the player who won the drawing of lots might choose the color, and the player with the white pieces would get 5 minutes to Black's 4, with a 2-second increment after move 60, while a draw counted as a win for Black. Tournament director: Mark Gluhovsky. Chief arbiter: Laurent Freyd.

No playoff was needed, since Ju Wenjun won clear first with 10/12.

Dec-29-18  john barleycorn: Interesting how this event got totally ignored. Especially by Rogoff liberals. Or do women play so badly that those particular gentlemen keep silent?
Dec-29-18  WorstPlayerEver: <jb>

I guess you also are able to explain why the women played 12 rounds and the men 15.

Can only speak for myself here, and sadly enough they do play that badly...

  Tabanus: What you ignored is that Z Mamedjarova vs Daria Yurasova, 2018 ended 1-0
Jan-07-19  Sokrates: I don't think the women's efforts here are less interesting and entertaining than the men's section. It goes without saying that they all are rated in a lower league, but it's one of the thrills of chess that it can be enjoyed and appreciated at all levels, right?
