World No. 10 GM Nana Dzginides of Georgia is one of the top 10 women’s players in the FIDE rankings starting in Budapest. The Georgian team will try their best to win the gold medal with their players.

The Indian team is second after winning bronze in Chennai but will miss Brahmapi Konero this time around. But with rising star Divya Deshmukh joining Budapest, the team looks to be a genuine title contender.

Although there are 4 Chinese players in the top 10, none of them will play in the Olympics. Despite this, China is still at number 4. GM Zhou Jin is the highest-ranked player, although all eyes will be on 14-year-old WGM Lu Miaoui, the Chinese women’s champion.

The Mozychak sisters did not play for the defending champions and missed the Olympiad: this time Ukraine will play as the 6th seed and defending the title will be very difficult. Ukraine may not succeed.

Third and fifth seeds Poland and Azerbaijan fielded their best players and will be teams to be reckoned with.
