The 2016 World Chess Championship for women was the duel for the title of world chess champion, scheduled for March 1 to 18, 2016 . Title holder Marija Musytschuk competed against former world champion Hou Yifan, who was qualified by winning the FIDE Grand Prix for women 2013-2014 , in a competition for 10 games with tiebreaker competitions in the event of a tie. The venue was the Potocki Palace in Lviv . The main judge was Carol Jarecki from the British Virgin Islands .
course
The duel was held over ten games and tiebreaks in the event of a tie. Before the first game, the colors and thus the right to wear were drawn. Since Hou Yifan had already scored 6 points after the ninth game, the tenth game was not played.
After the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, ninth and tenth game, a day of rest was planned. The games should start at 3 p.m. After the fourth game, the color swap was left out, so both players get the same colors in the fourth and fifth game.
For both players, the time to think about was 90 minutes for 40 moves and a further 30 minutes for the rest of the game as well as a further 30 seconds per move from the start of the game. At the request of the Chinese delegation, the games were broadcast on the Internet with a 30-minute delay in order to make fraud attempts more difficult.
Hou Yifan won the second game and built on that advantage by winning the sixth game. Another win in the ninth game secured her the title early.

Tie-break
In the case of a tie-break, four games are initially played, for which the colors are drawn separately. In the event of another tie, up to five tackles over two games would be held before a sudden death game. Before each further duel, the colors would be drawn anew and the victory of a duel would mean winning the world championship.
The time to think in the possible tiebreak is 25 minutes for both players for the entire game and a further 10 seconds per move for the first four games. For the following five duels over two games each, the thinking time is set at five minutes plus three seconds per move. Unless the main referee determines otherwise, there is a ten-minute break between each tiebreaker game.
The sudden death game would be held after another color draw with a time of five minutes for the white player versus four minutes for the black player and three seconds per move from move 61. In the event of a tie in this game, the black player, otherwise the winner, would be declared the new world champion.
Representations
In the event of a non-appearance, Natalja Pogonina would have been nominated for Musytschuk as a finalist in the 2015 knockout world championship and for Hou Yifan K. Humpy as runner-up in the FIDE Women's Grand Prix 2013-2014. More representatives would be the game most players in the rating list was the World Chess League FIDE for January 2015 starting with Judit Polgar , Humpy Koneru, nana dzagnidze , Ju Wenjun and Anna Muzychuk , which also sister of world champion Mariya Muzychuk is. However, Polgár's possible participation was considered very unlikely, as she always refused to take part in all-women tournaments and had announced her departure from top chess in 2014.
