The 2023 Women's World Draughts Championship in international draughts was held from 28 September to 13 October, 2023, at the Merakii Seaview Escape Resort in Willemstad, Curaçao. The championship was played under the auspices of the International Draughts Federation (FMJD) as a round-robin tournament with sixteen players. The total prize money for the tournament was 20,000 euros.[1]

The tournament was characterized by number of changes in the list of participants, as a result of the suspension of the Russian and Belarusian Draughts federations, the coronavirus and visa problems.

Viktoriya Motrichko became world champion for the first time, two points ahead of Darya Tkachenko.

The 2023 World Draughts Championship took place simultaneously at the same location.

Rules and regulations

The games were played with the official FMJD classical time control: 90 minutes for 45 moves, followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game plus a 30-second 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.[1]
