    You know what Alexandra I think you're kinda bored of chess because you have achieved everything. So, now you're more focused on doing other things in life. Which is AWESOME. The first complete chess woman on the planet - wife, mom, world champion, model, writer, commentator... Love you Chess Queen. By the way just bought your Diary of a Chess Queen. Great.

    Chess Queen what's your Moscow address? I want to meet you. I was in the spectators the other day but couldn't get your autograph. See you soon. You're one nice chess player and I love your smile.

    Chess Queen Ms Alexandra, you know what I like most about you? Your tweets and open thought processes. No other person would admit they lost a game like you did in your tweet and even posted it here. You are one noble person. I admire you. I am following all your twitter accounts - @kosteniuk (in Russian), @chessqueen (in English) and @chessblogcom - do you have any other twitter feeds? and oh yes your podcasts on puzzles from www.chesskillertips.com are super. You know we don't have that much chess material available in Nepal so it's nice to find lot of stuff on your sites and all those lovely commentated games on youtube. All the best.
