Kasparov was a great world champion, and has to his credit that he stayed world champion and #1 for a long period, he played beautiful chess games. Unfortunately he retired from active chess competition when I became a Grandmaster, so I did not have a chance to play him.
Yes it's the Scandinavian defense 3... Qd6 variation. The opening moves are 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qd6. It can be a very sharp line. If you want to see all the moves of most of my games you can get a program like Chess King with its GigaDatabase and all the moves of all my games can be found and analyzed with a strong chess engine.
There are special regulations for becoming a GM. There is a minimum rating of 2500 obligatory, and either you need to get 3 GM norms in strong tournaments, or win a very strong tournament. But now (2012), both Nadezhda Kosintseva and her sister Tatiana Kosintseva have achieved the GM title also.
@dmed312 Hi! No it's not a rule, but it's just being polite to set up the pieces back on the board after the game so that the next players will find the board set up when they come to the board.
@chagaev1 Yes being a professional chess player is a fun job, but it's not so easy to make a very good living out of playing chess alone. It's necessary to have other activities, such as promoting chess, playing chess simuls, writing books and publishing DVD's, and teaching.
In chess there are the titles of WGM (women's grandmaster) and GM (men or "overall" grandmaster). The strongest women in the world have managed to get besides WGM also the title of GM.
@beauch Except friends, I don't think chess players are ever very cordial with each other at the end of a game. A loss at chess hurts! :) Yeah, it's only a game ;D I'm very grateful for this opportunity to watch the over-the-board games! Thank you, GM Alexandra!
Well, I only knew about Tatiana but I did not know she had a sister and much less that she plays also chess professionally, thanks for the responses. Oh¡, one more question: In Russia all the womens who play chess also are Miss Universe candidates?
@MrRazorblade999 I answered that question in length on my blog (google the words kosteniuk wall street journal ridiculous). In short - chess is a sport.
Hey Chess Queen. Good Video. The camera was on a tripod. Move the flags to the other side of the table. This U.S. Marine and Ukrainian thinks he could defeat you. Look me up if you are ever in Scottsdale, Arizona. Steve...CmefaH
beautiful and smart liked when I saw your game mode. there if I had a chance to play with you even if it was by the website. 'm beginner plus a tip for you that hand strip the head why you are saying that this delivery anxious or showing. Claudeilson bay
Metamorphy look in move 14.fxe5 Bg4 15.Qf2(Bf3 f6 not possible capture the bishop in g4 for cause de hxg4, but h3 is correct,), . Black play f6 find exchange the peon g, example gxf6 Bxf6, continue with O-O-O in a position better that the wihte.
Do not want to steal away the pleasure from this victory but she played so passive.. i like your trolling moves Nc8 Nb6 :)) nive victory she lost the plot with the second rook exchange she missed that tactic with the queen forking king and bishop after an eventual recapture with the pawn. Congrats anyway you played strong. I would have played h3 and h4 at somepoint in the game to break your kingside. Not the best but she was so passive.
lol watching women play chess is so hilarious... :P and i just saw the world chapion girl failing to mat with bishop and knight... lol it would be more interesting if they played chess with bikinies or shorts as they do in other games :P

Alexandra, thank you for posting it, it's truly fascinating to watch it!!
Kasparov was a great world champion, and has to his credit that he stayed world champion and #1 for a long period, he played beautiful chess games. Unfortunately he retired from active chess competition when I became a Grandmaster, so I did not have a chance to play him.
Wow¡ Is an honor get this responses from you. Thank's for your attention.
I did not play Kasparov, he stopped playing when I became a Grandmaster. A coincidence?
I love you Kosteniuk

This Queen is a Genius!

what a lucky guy ! i wish you all the best andcongratulations for your impressive chess rating
Too bad the clock is not visible. Love to watch you playing!
Yes this is my official RUclips channel "chessqueen", I have also several other RUclips channels "chesskillertips", "chessking" and "chessqueentv".
@chagaev1 Yes being a professional chess player is a fun job, but it's not so easy to make a very good living out of playing chess alone. It's necessary to have other activities, such as promoting chess, playing chess simuls, writing books and publishing DVD's, and teaching.
Yes on my channel you will also find games where I lose, there is one against T. Kosintseva and one against Stefanova.
Is there a rule that says the players have to set the pieces back on the board after the game? Every video the players always set it up again.

I'm very grateful for this opportunity to watch the over-the-board games! Thank you, GM Alexandra!
thanks for the videos, beautiful woman and chess games!
@ScotvanPelt As many as possible :-) Let's say 6 to 8 on average, weekends included!
she is a real chess queen, by the way she promotes the game!
Yes you guessed right, Tatiana Kosintseva and Nadezhda Kosintseva are sisters.
Ratings fluctuate. Titles need to be earned and approved. Now Nadezhda is also a GM (Overall Grandmaster).
Well, I only knew about Tatiana but I did not know she had a sister and much less that she plays also chess professionally, thanks for the responses. Oh¡, one more question: In Russia all the womens who play chess also are Miss Universe candidates?
@alessiociaoalessio It makes no difference what nationality you have to determine if you can play chess well.
Wow, great game! I didn't expect to see the Schiller Variation of the Scandinavian played by top-rated players in a tournament.
hi, in your opinion can an italian man play enough well at chess?
@ChessQueen thanx for answer. do you like pasta?
how many hours do you practice in a day???
Do you post any games where you lose?
@ferrywar Of course! On Twitter, Facebook and RUclips, my nickname is "chessqueen". Best wishes!
Wauuuu. some day I´ll play such them
1:54 WHY NOT bishop takes on f3. White can't retake with the queen due to the knight?
I wish i meet u alexandra
Nadezhda and Tatiana are sisters?
Really GM Kosteniuk manages this chanel?
@MrRazorblade999 I answered that question in length on my blog (google the words kosteniuk wall street journal ridiculous). In short - chess is a sport.
Scandinavian ?
Sure I also comment a loss against Stefanova on my channel.
@1sh714q I made a post about that on my site chessqueen in August 2010.
Wish I was this good! :(
Have you ever played Magnus Carlsen? I hear he's pretty good.
wait, how is that you have a lower rating than her and you are a grandmaster whereas she is only an intertional master?
Yes I played against Magnus, the video of the game is here on my channel "chessqueen", enter watch?v=WeyXKTVYenA at the end of any RUclips link
She is having a higher rating than your's but still she is an IM not GM. How is it possible?
the camera must be placed elsewhere grrrr

Why are men so much better than women in chess?
