|
The 2001 FIDE Women's World Championship, held 27 November - 14 December at the Palace Meeting Hall in Kremlin, Moscow, Russia featured 64 players in a series of knockout matches played at the same time as the FIDE World Championship Knockout Tournament (2001/02). The early rounds had two games each, plus tiebreak games if necessary. The final was a match of four games plus eventual tiebreak games, with the winner declared Women's World Champion. Players were informed in October of a new time control: 90 minutes for the whole game with a 30-second increment from move 1. The tiebreaks consisted of two 20 min + 10-sec increment Rapid games, and (if needed) two additional 5 min + 10-sec increment Rapid games, plus a single Armageddon game where White had 6 minutes to Black's 5, while a draw counted as a win for Black. The eventual tiebreaks of the final were four 20 min + 10-sec games, two 5 min + 10-sec games, then one 5+10 game at a time, and an Armageddon game if in the opinion of the chief arbiter the match was taking too much time. Prize fund: US $300,000, with $100,000 to the champion. Chief arbiter: Yuri Averbakh. On her way to the final, Zhu Chen knocked out Elisa Maggiolo in Round 1, Svetlana Petrenko in Round 2, Alisa Maric in Round 3, Nino Khurtsidze in the quarterfinal, and Maia Chiburdanidze in the semifinal. Alexandra Kosteniuk beat Jennifer Shahade in Round 1, Hoang Thanh Trang in Round 2, Alisa Mikhailovna Galliamova in Round 3, Almira Fyodorovna Skripchenko in the quarterfinal, and Yuhua Xu in the semifinal.
