Hello everyone,
How about spending the weekend - rather a super Sunday - with Chess Queen Alexandra Kosteniuk? Here are great videos that tell us how the Queen is a real Chess Queen. Enjoy. 1) An excellent documentary made by the Eurovision in 1997 just after Alexandra Kosteniuk became World Champion Girls Under-12. Interesting to note the name of the program "To become a Queen" as well as Alexandra's stated wish to become women's world chess champion. 11 years later, Alexandra became the 12th women's world chess champion and Chess Queen™.
2) World Chess Champion and Chess Queen Alexandra Kosteniuk on CBS TV.
3) World Chess Champion and Chess Queen Alexandra Kosteniuk on Fox TV, January 25, 2009.
