The FIDE Women's Grand Prix is a series of elite tournaments being organised by FIDE and Global Chess. It includes six stages with the winner of each tournament receiving 6,500 euros out of a prize fund of 40,000 euros and the overall winner of the series will win a further 15,000 euros at the end of the series.
