Women's world champion Ju Wenjun is proving her class and title at #WomenGrandPrixFIDE in Skolkovo!
In round 6 she wins yet again, against Alina Kashlinskaya,
masterfully using the Russian's careless c2 pawn capture in the opening, and becomes the sole leader with 4,5/6.

Ju Wenjun's decision to choose the #WomenGrandPrixFIDE is currently looking a decent one. If she wins she earns more than a #FIDEWorldCup Round 3 loser:
Leningrad, June 1956. The Anichkov Bridge and the Anichkov Palace, which held the famous Pioneers' Palace at which the likes of Spassky, Korchnoi & Taimanov studied.
