Re: Qualifying for 2022 Candidates
Presumably this would be Hou? Assuming she declined, would it default to the next highest-rated otherwise unqualified player (currently Muzychuk M, I think) or would it be organisers' choice?

I'd imagine Hou wouldn't play, but doesn't meet the 15 games anyway; Maria Muzychuk looks likely then
with C being the World Cup and D the Grand SwissThe player having the highest standard rating in the January 2022 FIDE rating list, provided she has at least 15 standard games rated in FIDE standard rating lists 2021 or participated in events C or D.
