World Chess Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk
GM Alexandra Kosteniuk, who I wrote about a couple of years ago, is now the new Women’s World Chess Champion. I guess she isn’t into modeling much anymore, although you can still see all her photos on her website.
Kosteniuk beat 14-year old Hou Yifan of China to become the champion.
Kosteniuk said that Hou, a 14-year-old, was her most dangerous opponent and a “great talent.� Kosteniuk said she was afraid of how strong Hou would become in a few years, and predicted that Hou would soon dominate women’s competitions.
