Answer 

Figure 14(c) 

In 1997, Russian Alisa Galliamova and Chinese Xie Jun finished first and second, 

but Galliamova refused to play the final match entirely in China. FIDE eventually 

awarded the match to Xie Jun by default. 

However, by the time all these delays were sorted out, Polgar had given birth to 

her first child. She requested that the match be postponed. FIDE refused, and 

eventually set up the championship to be between Galliamova and Xie Jun. The 

championship was held in Kazan, Tatarstan and henyang, China, and Xie Jun won 

with five wins, three losses, and seven draws. 

In 2000 a knock-out event, similar to the FIDE men's title and held alongside it, was 

the new format of the women's world championship. It was won by Xie Jun.
