By skipping the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships, which began Tuesday in Riyadh and end Saturday, Muzychuk said she was aware that not only was she set to "lose two World Champion titles - one by one," but also to pass up an opportunity to "earn more than I do in a dozen of events combined." The $2 million prize fund for the championships, which have been named for Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, was declared by the World Chess Federation (FIDE) to be "almost 350% more than the previous event."
