Natalia Pogonina's opinion: "A lot of exciting and fighting chess can be expected. However, both the historical results and the latest chess performances show that Hou Yifan will probably keep the crown. She seems to be stronger in terms of psychology and has more experience in playing for the supreme women's chess title".
