| New pictures of the chess babe
02.04.2002 Look who's on the title of the popular Russian youth magazine Yat. It's
Alexandra Kosteniuk, chess's answer to Anna Kournikova, hitter of the yellow
ball. Alexandra has just returned from Singapore and Jakarta, where she demolished
the Junior team 6:0. As a special service we provide our visitors not with the
games of this match but with rushes from the photoshoot in Moscow. In thumbnail
and wallpaper. No pushing and shoving now. The pictures are available here.
The games between Alexandra Kosteniuk and the Indonesian juniors was held from
March 19 to 24 in Jakarta. The opponents (you will find short portraits of them
here),
between 12 and 15 years old, did not have a chance. "The Russian women's
grand master steamrolled right over the Indonesians, winning all six games,"
reports the official web
site. The games are to be found here
(go on, get them!).
After returning from Indonesia Alexandra wrote us: "At last I am back in
Moscow. Everything was great in Singapore and in Jakarta, it is always interesting
to see something new. But Moscow is better, and I am glad that I'm back again!
The interest in the match with the Junior team in Jakarta was crazy. I managed
to win occasionally ;-). I am sending to you my new pictures which were taken
in Moscow and Indonesia." These we want to share with you.
