Kosteniuk publishes new Beach & Chess Photos

That's me with the chess pieces from Orlov, Russia

Hello everyone!

I am pleased to let you know I have published 67 new "Beach & Chess" photos and posted them on my site www.chessqueen.com

The photos were commissioned by the Russian Chess Manufacturing company "Shakhmaty", based in Orlov, Kirov Region. The chess sets used in the photo shoot are from that factory. Read my post about my recent visit to that factory.
