Chess Queen Kosteniuk featured in Chess Life Dress Like a Grandmaster
Hello everyone!
Nice surprise to see I was featured in the brand new December 2011 Chess Life Magazine, in a feature article called “Dress Like a Grandmaster” (click on the title to read it). Do you think chess players should dress nicely when they play a public tournament, or do you think it does not matter how they are dressed?

Alexandra, as a big fan I’ve seen many photos of you. One time I was very surprised of running into some photos of you in a Tournament in which you were dress very casual and with little or not any make up at all. Of course you still looked prettier than the rest but, why not present yourself in a way that would be unparalleled to anybody present? I mean if you have the class the looks and the talent then I think you should use everything you have to stand out and shine like a star that you are. I want to clarify that you always look like if you were coming out of top model magazine!
On the same note chess tournaments should be glamorous and prestigious, specially at GM or top of the world level. I dislike those GM’s that present themselves with long hair, unshaved with a T-shirt. take a look at this link and you’ll see GM J. Polgar and V Ivanchuk poorly dress for the event.
