Torneo De Candidatas FIDE 2026: Aleksandra Goryachkina (Rusia, 2534)

 

Pocas jugadoras en el circuito están tan estrechamente vinculadas al ciclo del Campeonato Mundial como Aleksandra Goryachkina. Se dio a conocer en la cúspide de la élite en 2019 al ganar el Torneo de Candidatas y obtener el derecho a desafiar a Ju Wenjun por el título mundial, quedando a un paso de la corona en un encuentro sumamente reñido. Desde entonces, Goryachkina se ha mantenido como una presencia constante en el nivel de élite, combinando una profunda comprensión posicional con un estilo sereno y eficiente que resulta especialmente efectivo en las competiciones de largo aliento. Su victoria en la Copa del Mundo Femenina de 2023 subrayó su fortaleza en los torneos por eliminatorias directas, mientras que su regreso al Torneo de Candidatas se selló gracias a otra sólida actuación en el Gran Premio Femenino 2024-25. En Doha, en 2025, añadió un hito importante a su carrera al conquistar su primer título de Campeonato Mundial —ganando el Campeonato Mundial Femenino de Ajedrez Rápido—, demostrando así su capacidad para transformar su excelente estado de forma en oro en el escenario más importante.
