IMYuxin Song

Song Yuxin grew up in Beijing and began learning chess at five. In a 2024 interview, she described a lasting enthusiasm for the game and named Hou Yifan as a model for the career she hoped to build. She won silver in the girls' under-fourteen section of the 2018 World Youth Championship. Her progress into senior competition brought second place in the 2023 Chinese Women's Championship. She also earned the international master and woman grandmaster titles that year. At the 2024 Olympiad she won an individual bronze medal for China.

Her biggest individual victory followed at the 2025 Asian Women's Championship in Al Ain. She went through the event unbeaten, with five wins and four draws. A final-round victory secured a share of first place, and the tiebreaks gave her the championship and a place in the Women's World Cup. In 2026 she helped China win the women's Olympiad. Looking back on that campaign, she said the experience had made her approach to competition more mature.
