Yes, finally a Women's World Chess Champion from Russia.
No, it is not sexism that I publish "that" picture. I could go with the one of her in a thong, or the one with the chess set in front of her in a shredded bathing suit that shows her cleavage.
Yes, she has many good chess photos, and I went through lots of them purely because of this site and I'm thorough.
It is an old Russian tradition. Gary Kasparov used to wear a speedo to celebrate his Championship. Tchigorin had lithographs of him in those 19th century swim trunks and tee shirt combo distributed.
Here is what Alexandra Kostenuik had to say to me about that.
"No, my husband, who is 25 years my senior, would object to us dating..." wait, not that one. Here we go.
"I discovered early on that I don't get paid for being the best woman's chess player on Earth. Taking money from dirty old men like you you pays the bills."
Asked if this was degrading she said, "No. Because I'm smart does not make me less sexy."
When I pointed out Kramnik has no bathing suit pictures, she replied, "I enjoy being able to do something that Vladimir Kramnik can not do. Seriously how many pictures can he sell on his web site?"
"Besides," she added, "I worked hard to get my figure back after having a baby and I'm proud I can make dirty old men like you drool."
"I look forward to meeting this Bill Belly-Chick. Vladimir Putin showed me one of his rings."
Aside: In satire you get to make stuff up, like quotes in English from a person who speaks Russian. She did win the World Women's Chess Championship.

This article confuses me. How does it relate to the Pats?

I guess the Bill Belly-chick got it put there. I'll edit it and remove that. Thanks for telling me it was in Patriots.
