It's easy to get lost in FIDE's championship cycles, so here's a reminder. The current Women's World Champion is Hou Yifan from China. If she wins the next WC, she keeps the title. If not, we will have a new champion, but Hou Yifan will challenge her next year for the title (because Hou won the Grand Prix this year). The Women's World Chess Championship will be a knock-out event held in Khanty-Mansyisk, Russia from November 9th to December 3rd.

Hi Natalia, 
I wish you all the best for this championship and I think you have a great chance of taking this title, especially after your fantastic result in winning the Russian Super final. 
I suppose I should be supporting my own country lady (Ms Melissa Greeff), but no matter I will be rooting for you all the way Natalia. 
So go on and give it all you got! 
Regards, 
Gordon
