The 2021 Women's World Draughts Championship in international draughts was held from 28 June to 14 July, 2021, at the Hotel Viru in Tallinn, Estonia. It was held under the auspices of the International Draughts Federation (FMJD). 16 players from 9 countries competed in the tournament, which was played in a COVID bubble. The Championship was played as a round-robin tournament. The main referee was IR Frank Teer. The total prize money for the tournament was 20,000 euros.[1]

The 2021 World Draughts Championship took place simultaneously at the same hotel.

Matrena Nogovitsyna from Russia won her first title.

Rules and regulations

The games were played with the official FMJD classical time control: 80 minutes plus a 1-minute increment per move. FMJD regulations prohibited players from agreeing to a draw before each had completed 40 moves; doing so required the referee to award both players 0 points.

The final rankings were determined by total points. If two or more players finished with the same score, the following tiebreaks were applied:

  1. Number of wins.
  2. Results in the direct encounters between the tied players.
  3. Results obtained against opponents in order of their final ranking.

For places 1–3, tiebreaks using the Lehmann–Georgiev system (15 minutes plus a 2-second increment per move for an unlimited number of games) were played if necessary; other places were shared.[1]
