    I really loved all your games. Full of hard work, deep insight and pretty chess. Too bad cannot seem to find much of blitz reports with photos and games. I wish you win the European Individual as the icing on your birthday cake this year. Best wishe, Gordon and Kate, London

    Go go Chess Queen. You are the best. I love the way you play. But it makes the audience very very nervous if they love you because we want you to win with first move itself. But I like your many ideas on the varied chessboard. I also like new and fresh ideas that you come up with because I keep tracking your games. I don't play because I have hectic profession in business but you are my happy corner. I read your kosteniuk.com website and follow you on twitter @chessqueen.com. I like the stuff you put up here on your blog and I quickly go through all the updates with my morning coffee. It is good for my appetite. Ha ha ha. You take care Queen of the Chessboard and the Queen of many hearts. P.S. Can I add, without any offence to your husband and family, that you are pretty and very intelligent - I tell my daughters to inspire from you here though in Cairo we have not that much chess for girls. Best wishes, Always,

    Congratulations Alexandra Kosteniuk. You really played well particularly holding your nerve against a very strong grandmaster like Antoaneta Stefanova in the last game. It was a very crucial game. Congratulations to your team also for the team event and your individual performance. I wish you all the luck for the future. Hope to see you gain loads of Elos also.
