/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian chess player Lilit Lazarian will represent
Armenia at 2nd FIDE Women Grand Prix to take place in Nanjing, China
from September, 27, 2009 to October, 10, 2009.
12 top chess players will participate in the tournament: Xue, Zhao
(China, 2544), Ju, Wenjun (China, 2443), Dzagnidze, Nana (Georgia,
2536), Sebag Marie (France, 2531), Yuhua, Xu (China, 2485), Chen, Zhu
(Quatar, 2473), Mrktchyan, Lilit (Armenia, 2467), Yang, Shen (China,
2453), Batkhuyag, Munguntuul (Mongolia, 2412), Kovanova, Baira (Russia,

The Grand Prix will be a series of six tournaments held over two years
(2009-2010) in leading world cities.
The timing of evaluating and contracting host city offers will be very
important particularly at the start of the series. Offers to host
and contract three tournaments over the next six years (i.e. three
cycles - for 2009/10, 2011/2 and 2013/4) will be given preference.
18 top world players will be selected to compete in these
tournaments. Each player agrees and will contract to participate in
exactly 4 of these tournaments. Players must rank their preference
of tournaments once the final list of host cities is announced and
the dates are allocated to each host city.
