He he, not only playing with Anand, I also beat him, with the black pieces too!
That was a great feeling, the woman world champion beating the men world
champion! ;-)

I think Vishy is great! Of course if I play him 10 times he will win 9 of them,
but it's great I beat him in this one :-) Vishy is the world champion and he
plays wonderfully. I love his style!

I analyzed the Anand-Kosteniuk game where Alexandra won and sent out a cHess
email to 5,000 people. The most interesting line I found was -

15 N:f6+!!! B:f6 16 B:f7+ ( only move ) Kf8
17 Qa3+ only move Kg7 18 B:f6+ only move Q:f6!
19 Q:a5 only move Bf5!
would be very hard to play for Anand, despite his piece up.

I put all the times into the scoresheet from the video -



I also watched and enjoyed about 10 other Kosteniuk Chess videos. Very
impressive games, very impressive presentation, very impressive analysis, very
pleasant voice. Also Alexandra is very well mannered and does not gloat when
she wins like I would.

All that and so pretty Bobby Fischer picked Alexandra as his cellmate of choice.
What more could a Chessplayer ask for?

Alexandra Kosteniuk
Yes Brian you're absolutely right 15.Nxf6+ was necessary, I had seen that idea,
but Anand did not ;-)
Thanks for your very kind comments, I sincerely appreciate them! I am preparing
a new DVD with 15 games of that world championship, including games which I
drew and also games which I lost, some are very instructive.

I can send you the email if you like. Everything you do is high quality. I loved
you dancing in the streets after becoming the 12th Women's World Champion.That
was magical.
11 minutes ago · DeleteBrian Douglas WallI thought you were just as pretty as
the Russian dancers in the opening ceremony so that's why I was happy when you
got to dance too.

Here's the video of Alexandra Kosteniuk dancing in the streets in costume very
happily after winning the World's Championship.
Very entertaining.
