Torneo De Candidatas FIDE 2026: Tan Zhongyi (China, 2535)

 

Tan Zhongyi aporta al Torneo de Candidatos un pedigrí de campeona y una vasta experiencia en competiciones. Pilar fundamental de la selección nacional china desde hace mucho tiempo, alcanzó la cúspide del ajedrez femenino en 2017, cuando conquistó el título del Campeonato Mundial Femenino. Su fortaleza en los torneos clásicos de larga duración se reafirmó en 2024, al ganar el Torneo de Candidatas en Toronto y ganarse así el derecho a disputar nuevamente el título mundial. Aunque no logró imponerse en el posterior encuentro por el campeonato frente a Ju Wenjun, Tan demostró un gran espíritu combativo y una notable profundidad de juego a lo largo de las extensas partidas. Aseguró su regreso al Torneo de Candidatos al finalizar en tercer lugar en la Copa del Mundo Femenina de 2025 —derrotando en el camino a Lei Tingjie—, posicionándose una vez más en la vanguardia del ciclo del Campeonato Mundial.
