Updated August 21


Featuring a $75,000 prize fund, the Julius Bär Women's Speed Chess Championship 2024 happens from August 12 to September 5.

The main event hosts 16 elite chess players, from which 10 have been invited, 4 made their way through hard fought Play-in Swiss+Knockout qualifier events, and 2 more were elected via the Titled Cup Leaderboard.

The Play-ins ran August 12-16, with the main event happening August 22-September 5.

The four players which qualified from the Play-ins were WIM Alua Nurman, IM Mai Narva, IM Eline Roebers and IM Anastasia Bodnaruk.

The two players which qualified from the Titled Cup Leaderboard were IM Polina Shuvalova and IM Anna Sargsyan, both with 72.5 points from their ten highest Titled Tuesday scores in the election time period.

That's what I thought. Weird though. They must know it ahead of time, why is it a secret?
