In the second round of the World Women’s Team Championship, the Chinese Women’s Team defeated the powerhouse Russia 4-0! That was unprecedented. They then followed it up by beating a very strong Polish team by the same 4-0 score! In the first round, they dominated Vietnam by the score of 3.5 / 4. Their score so far is 11.5 / 12!
Below is an excerpt from CCTV:
In Russia, China’s female chess team have claimed a third consecutive win at the World Chess Championships. They have outgunned European champions Poland 4 to nothing in the third round.
China and Poland both claimed wins in the previous two rounds of the matches. But on the first board, Zhao Xue was not intimidated at all, making ferocious attacks before wrapping up a victory.

China is having some incredible results. Steam-rolling all these teams is extremely difficult as there are many strong women players out there. They are making a big statement at this event.
