LIVE Game Munguntuul – Kosteniuk

Watch my Game LIVE against Mungultuul, decisive for the Tournament win!

Update February 6, 2011: The game just ended in a hard-fought draw, which benefits Alexandra since she has a better Berger coefficient (she beat stronger players such as Zhao Xue).

So the big winner of the 2011 Moscow Open Women’s Invitational Chess Tournament is Chess Queen Alexandra Kosteniuk!
