Kosteniuk Featured in Champions for Peace Video
Following last year's announcement that Chess Queen Alexandra Kosteniuk became "Champion for Peace", we are pleased to embed a video created by the Monaco Organization to honor 4 of the many champions who have joined the cause to make the world a better place to live.
The part about Alexandra starts around minute 3 of the video. Alexandra was interviewed in Sierre, Switzerland about how she feels about being part of the Champions for Peace movement. She also talked about her goodwill trip to a very poor town in Colombia (Puerto Tajada) and shared the love of chess with so many kids.
