Lei Tingjie
Lei Tingjie, born in 1997, is a formidable force in women's chess, recognized for her tactical brilliance and aggressive play. She made headlines with her commanding victory in the 2021 Women's Grand Swiss tournament, securing a 1.5-point lead even before the final round and winning the title with a round to spare. This triumph earned her a spot in the 2022/23 Candidates Tournament, which she won, paving the way to challenge Ju Wenjun for the world title. Although Lei narrowly lost the match, her strategic acumen and keen tactical eye were on full display. Known for her precision in exploiting tactical opportunities, Lei frequently turns equal positions to her advantage with sharp, calculated moves. Making her debut in the 2024-2025 FIDE Women's Grand Prix, chess enthusiasts are eagerly watching her rise.
