The last of the four Women’s Grand Prix tournaments in the 2022-23 series begins on Tuesday, with Aleksandra Goryachkina the rating favourite. Zhu Jiner is leading the overall GP standings. However, the Chinese WGM has already participated in three tournaments, and thus will not be playing in Nicosia.
