Alexandra, I would like to ask you a question. Based on the ranking. Out of 100 best chess players of all time there is only ONE female?

@goldewl Hi! That's not a question, it's a fact. I wrote of that in a long post on my chess blog in response to a reporter's article in the Wall Street Journal. You can easily find the my post and read the 91 comments by Googling the following words: Kosteniuk Wall Street Journal ridiculous . Best wishes!

@dragonheadofthewest This game is from the official FIDE World Blitz Chess Championship 2009. It was played at the official FIDE blitz time control of 3 minutes per player + (plus) 2 seconds per move, which means that games last on average from 7 to 12 minutes. Blitz is fun to watch, and among Grandmasters can be of very high quality. Besides, games of 10 minutes on average are perfect to watch on YouTube.

@dragonheadofthewest Grandmasters have plenty of time to be creative in blitz. Just look at any of the games! Chess blitz is fun too! :-)

@nighterjay Would you like to know what's in my handbag or in the handbag of any woman? A wallet, keys, chocolates, tissues, there are tons of things women usually carry in their handbags.

I would love to hear your commentary in Russian.

[nighterjay]

@ChessQueen why do You and Polgar Both carry Handbags to Your chess game?

[esterazi]

I like how Judith already reaches for her black Queen, and then "oops", looks at your move. Well done!

Interesting game. I would like to play a game against you. Are you playing in some internet site? Chess dot com, ICC or somewhere? Btw I like your accent :p

@OK1m Alexanda are you going to play Hou Yifan again in the near future. If Anand were to play Hou a 14 game match who would win and why? If you become women's champion in 2012 would you ever Challenge Anand to more games. I don't understand why women can not compete with the men for the championship.

Very well calculated position at the end.
