Alexandra Goryachkina
Confidence: 70%In the highly anticipated Round 9 match of Chess Stars 2026, I predict Alexandra Goryachkina will upset the favored Valentina Gunina. My confidence in this outcome is 70%. The key factors influencing this prediction are Goryachkina's recent form, her historical performance in rapid chess, and Gunina's inconsistent play under pressure. Given the rapid format, I expect a closely contested match with Goryachkina's adaptability giving her the edge. I predict the score to be 1.5-0.5 in Goryachkina's favor.
