Grandmaster Bibisara Assaubayeva has won Norway Chess Women 2026 with one round still left to play. A draw against Anna Muzychuk in the classical game was enough for the Kazakh star to secure the title after building a commanding lead throughout the tournament.

Bibisara approached the game sensibly, avoiding unnecessary risks and keeping the position under control. As pieces were exchanged and the position simplified, neither player was able to create serious winning chances. The draw suited Bibisara perfectly, as it guaranteed her the championship.

The title was not won in this game alone. Bibisara had already done the hard work earlier in the tournament through a series of strong performances, including a crucial victory over Divya Deshmukh that helped her pull clear of the chasing pack. Her combination of classical-game wins and important Armageddon victories allowed her to establish a lead that no one could overcome. trojkonferencja2024.pl

With one round remaining, Bibisara sits comfortably at the top of the standings with 16.5 points. China’s Zhu Jiner is in second place on 13 points, while Anna Muzychuk occupies third with 12 points. Reigning Women’s World Champion Ju Wenjun is fourth on 10.5 points, followed by India’s Divya Deshmukh on 10 points. Veteran Indian Grandmaster Humpy Koneru is sixth with 9 points.

Because Bibisara leads second-placed Zhu Jiner by 3.5 points with only one round remaining, she cannot be caught. Although she still has to face Ju Wenjun in the final round, the title has already been decided. The last game now offers Bibisara the opportunity to put the finishing touch on what has been a dominant and memorable tournament victory.
