Mariya Muzychuk is the current title-holder but a huge underdog against three-time champion and women's #1 Hou Yifan in their Women's World Championship match, which starts Wednesday in Lviv, Ukraine. (The games start at 3 p.m. local time = 7 a.m. ET.) It is a best of ten game match, with the usual rapid and blitz tiebreaks in case of a 5-5 tie.
Anyone out there think Muzychuk has a non-trivial chance?
