FIDE Women’s World Cup 2025 quarterfinals – who will play whom?

Image
The FIDE Women's World Cup 2025 has reached the quarterfinals, with only eight top chess players remaining: four from India, three from China, and one from Georgia. The first games are set for tomorrow, and we're currently assessing the chances of each pairing: GM Nana  Dzagnidze 2505  -  GM T ingjie Lei 2552 Tingjie Lei , the number one seed, is having an excellent tournament, winning all her games so far in the regular season without needing tiebreaks. The Chinese player has won five games and only drawn one, making her appear to be the favorite in this match. Nana Dzagnidze, on the other hand, had a tough encounter with Valentina Gunina. However, it's important to remember that the Georgian is playing at home. IM Deshmukh  Divya  2463  -  GM  Harika Dronavalli 2483 The match between Deshmukh Divya vs Harika Dronavalli promises to be very interesting, as both players hail from the same country. While they are similarly strong, we're giving Desh...
