 Thanks to everyone who connects with me on all social sites, I sincerely appreciate it! Last week I passed 300,000 followers on Twitter, and to my knowledge I remain the only chess grandmaster (male or female) to be “verified” on Twitter.
I’ll be glad if you connect with me on Twitter (accounts “chessqueen“, “chessking“, “chessblog“, Facebook (“chessqueen“, “chessking“, “chessblog“), YouTube (chessqueen, chessking, chesskillertips, “chessqueentv“), Instagram (“chessqueen“), LinkedIn (Alexandra Kosteniuk). I’d love to connect with all of you on all my social sites, or by email. If you have not yet signed up for my free email newsletter, please sign up now!

Hello everyone! I am working on a Newsletter in which I will let you know about my results, games, videos, activities, and offer super chess discounts for my Chess King Training suite of products. I will also run competitions with prizes, and inform you of how I am playing and where you can watch my games, in an applet or in video. You can sign up at one of several places, here on www.chessqueen.com (right column), www.chessblog.com, www.chess-king.com or www.facebook.com/chessqueen. It’s enough to subscribe just once, just make sure you confirm you want to subscribe when the conformation email comes.
 Hello everyone! I’m pleased to report that Twitter management contacted me and proposed to “verify” my account “@chessqueen” so that nobody would have any doubt that “@chessqueen” is my account (there are sometimes impersonation attempts using my name Alexandra Kosteniuk or trademark “chess queen”). So now you can be sure that my English Twitter account is @chessqueen. As far as I know, I am the first professional chess player or Grandmaster whose account has been “verified” by Twitter – and the only one at this time. If you know of anybody else whose Twitter account is verified and who is a GM (Grandmaster), please let me know! Read more…
 Hello everyone! I just found out that exactly 3 years ago I signed up to Twitter under the nickname @ChessQueen. Since then I have tweeted over 5,000 times to close to 180,000 followers around the world. That main twitter account is in English, and I have also opened a Russian Twitter account @Kosteniuk, where I tweet in Russian. I do post more photos on @Kosteniuk, so be sure to follow both @chessqueen and @kosteniuk. I recommend you follow my chess ventures @ChessKing (for the best affordable chess software), @ChessBlog (the world’s leading chess blog), @ChessPics (for beautiful chess photos) and @ChessKillerTips (for free chess educational videos). Happy chess tweeting!
 Hi everybody!
If you’d like to see the photos I take personally during my trips, chess tournaments, vacations, on my iPhone, you can follow me on Instagram and see them as soon as I shoot them. My nickname is “chessqueen”. The best way to see photos published on Instagram are on the iPhone & iPad (it’s a free application), but they are also automatically pushed also to my Russian Twitter account @kosteniuk and sometimes I repost them on my English Twitter account @chessqueen . Here is my most recent “self-portrait“.
