Have you heard about Ju Wenjun? She’s a super talented chess player from China, and she just won her fifth Women’s World Chess Championship in a row! That’s like winning five gold medals back to back! 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
In a thrilling match against another amazing player, Tan Zhongyi, Ju Wenjun clinched the title with a score of 6.5 to 2.5. This means she won enough games to become the champion again! 🎉
At 34 years old, Ju is now the fourth woman ever—and the first from China—to win the world championship five times. Isn’t that incredible? 😮
In the final game, Ju played with the white pieces. She used a special opening called the Nyezhmetdinov-Rossolimo attack (that’s a mouthful! 😅), which is a clever way to start the game and set up her pieces for a strong position.
The game was intense! Both players made smart moves, capturing each other’s pieces and planning their strategies. Eventually, they reached a point where they decided to draw the game, which means neither player won that particular game.
But overall, after nine exciting games, Ju Wenjun emerged as the champion! This victory also marks the 16th time a Chinese player has won the Women’s World Chess Championship. 🎊
Ju’s amazing achievements show how hard work and passion can lead to great success. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll be a chess champion too! Why not grab a chessboard and start practicing? ♟️
