Russian Scientific Documentary about the Super Brain of Chess Queen™ Alexandra Kosteniuk
We were able to get hold of the 27-minute Russian scientific documentary produced for the Russian TV channel “Russia 2” last month and called “Супер Мозг” = “Super Brain”. The game of chess is used to show how the brain works. The video features 12th Women’s World Chess Champion and Chess Queen™ Alexandra Kosteniuk, who goes through several scientific experiments, including a brain tomography while solving a chess problem. Experiments are also conducted with male GM Alexander Riazantsev to see if there are any differences between men’s and women’s brains. There are differences. The video is in Russian, note that you can use the “subtitles” feature of YouTube, it’s wonderful, the subtitles are translated on the fly, mouse over the arrow in the bottom right of the player and then choose the CC option to see the captions menu. Once you do, you will see the default language and the ability to “translated” the captions. Once you click on “translate,” you will be able to choose from 35 different languages.

Hi Alexandra..
Enjoyed watching the video. Fascinating! Have a friend who could do subtitles, but not sure if he would take on the project for free. Something to be discussed.. I still feel I can do this translation.. if you still need one that is. If not my friend, maybe someone else could do the subtitles given the transcript.
