Brilliant Hulachess Video
Hi everyone!
Jennifer Shahade just sent me this email with link to the embedded YouTube video above, I loved it!! It's simply brilliant! If chess players could do that they would be in perfect harmony with their bodies, a guaranteed way to be fit!
I'm happy to announce that Hulachess has been shortlisted for the 1st Guggenheim YouTube Play biennial! 125 videos made the cut out of over 23,000 entries from 91 countries. We are very excited and appreciative that hulachess caught the eyes of the Guggenheim curators. You can watch our video on YouTube Play in the "Non-Narrative" category or watch it here. I also encourage you to browse YouTube.com/Play to watch many other interesting videos.
For a summary of the contest, see this article from Reuters.
Thanks to many of you BCCed on this email for your help and congrats also to Daniel Meirom (co-creator & editor), Gabrielle Revlock (choreographer, dancer and my hula-hoop instructor/chess student) and Blake Eichenseer (Director of Photography).
About 20 of the shortlisted videos will be selected by a jury that includes performance artist & musician Laurie Anderson, artist Takashi Murakami and film-maker Darren Aronofsky. Those videos will be unveiled in a special celebration at the Guggenheim museum in New York on October 21 and also installed at the Guggenheim museums in Bilbao, Venice and Berlin. The odds are about five to one.
We are crossing our fingers but also happy to get this far.
Happy autumn, Jennifer

Blitz Chess Video Krush - Kosteniuk
Hi everybody!
The recent Blitz Chess World Championship was fantastic and was so strong! The games were super interesting and exciting. Without losing too much time, I will start sharing many of my games with you. Below is the first one, against USA's Women's Chess Champion Irina Krush. There will be more coming very soon.
It's interesting to see that all 4 players of the Russia-1 women's team (Both Kosintseva sisters Tatiana and Nadezhda (2nd & 8th, Valentina Gunina 3rd, and myself 6th) at the current Khanty-Mansiysk Chess Olympiads finished within the top 8 in the World Blitz, with the second strongest country at the World Blitz being the Ukraine (Kateryna Lahno 1st, Inna Gaponenko 7th, Mariya Muzychuk 13th and Natalia Zhukova 15th). Will Russia and the Ukraine be top contenders for the Gold?

Commented Video Kosteniuk - Gaponenko
I am pleased to present to you my commented chess video with the game I played last week with International Master (IM) Inna Gaponenko (ELO 2438) in the last round of the Eurocup in Ohrid. It features a Sicilian Dragon opening and several nice tactical sacrifices. Winning this game allowed my team to take silver medals in the competition.

If you like this video, please consider buying my world champion DVD, which has over 3 hours of commented games, all 12 games I played in the world championship to become women's world champion last year.
