Fuling is a district in the city of Chongqing, which is located in the middle of China at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River. Chongqing is home to nearly 7 million people but if you add the suburbs, almost 20 million people live there to make Chongqing one of the largest cities in the world.
A number of top Chinese players took part in the event, including Ding Liren, Bu Xiangzhi, Wei Yi, Ni Hu, Li Chao, Hou Yifan or Ju Wenjun, but also many Chinese players who are little known outside their country. The strength of the teams varied widely.
Foreign players did not take part in the Championship. Due to the pandemic, China has more or less completely closed its borders. Only a few Chinese players are given the opportunity to play in tournaments abroad and even fewer players can enter China.
The matches were played on five boards, with boards 4 and 5 reserved for women. The 30-year-old Grandmaster Ma Qun (Elo 2655) played on board one for Hangzhou Bank, former Women's World Champion Hou Yifan (Elo 2650) played on board 4, the first women's board. With a score of 6.0/8 (+5, =2, -1) Hou Yifan was the most successful player on her team. However, with a rating average of 2188 her opponents were not particularly strong.
