hi...during the match, how confident you were that you were gonna win over tatiana??

[ChessQueen]

@eezreeq In chess you're never sure you will win until your opponent resigns. It's actually quite hard to "win a won game", there is the risk of losing concentration, being too overconfident, and so one should be extra careful at the end. You can only relax after the game is totally over.

i am confused! the black won but which one was Kosteniuk

[ChessQueen]

@raoulhery In this game I was playing white and I lost, I thought you might enjoy the game. By the way, in chess, when you write the players names, the one named first is playing white. So here it's Kosteniuk - T. Kosintseva that means I'm playing white and Tatiana is playing black.

@ChessQueen Fine!! One question, how many time each player have in this blist championship? 5min?

[ChessQueen]

@raoulhery Nowadays we use electronic clocks and the FIDE time control is 3 + 2, which means 3 minutes per player for the whole game + 2 seconds per move. It comes out to about 5 minutes per player per game but avoids situations where you lose on time with a totally winning position.

@Nickalispicalis I have Rybka and all the computer software one can want, but those don't teach you how to think.Nothing can replace a real human coach. Computers and chess software are great, but they should not be the only training one gets.
