Dec-17-13  cro777: "Mind Games" in a night club.

One of the night clubs in Moscow hosted an unusual event - Mind Games. The program of the event also contained the encounter against the chess robot constructed by Alexandra Kosteniuk's father, Konstantin Kosteniuk (the first chess robot to beat grandmasters in blitz chess).

GM Pavel Eljanov lost in the endgame, while Kashlinskaya drew her game catching the robot on a perpetual check after series of sacrifices.

Jul-10-15  Fiona Macleod: Psychiatrists say that girls tend to marry men like their fathers. That's the reason why their mothers cry so much at their weddings.
Aug-11-15  siggemannen: Married life is tough... Alina is down 0/2 in the Russian Champs. Also the Chinese match didnt go too well for her. Hope it will turn around soon
Aug-11-15  sonia91: <siggemannen: Also the Chinese match didnt go too well for her> Actually she was the top scorer in the Russian women's team.
