The 2025 Women's World Draughts Championship in international draughts was held from 27 September to 5 October, 2025, at the Couva Point Lisas Chamber of Commerce in Couva, Trinidad and Tobago. It was held under the auspices of the International Draughts Federation (FMJD). The championship was played as a 9-round Swiss-system tournament with 18 players. The total prize money for the tournament was 20,000 euros.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Rules and regulations
The games were played with the official FMJD classical time control: 90 minutes for 45 moves, followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game plus a 30-second increment per move. FMJD regulations prohibited players from agreeing to a draw before each had completed 40 moves; doing so required the referee to award both players 0 points.
The final rankings were determined by total points. If two or more players finished with the same score, Solkoff coefficients were used as tiebreakers. Ties were broken in the following order: the truncated Solkoff coefficient (SSolk), the sum of Solkoff coefficients (Solk+), the Solkoff–Balyakin coefficient (BSolk), and the full truncated Solkoff coefficient.[1][7]
