Athletistic/ Others. Today, March 3, it was officially announced that Russian chess player Alexandra Kosteniuk has changed her sport citizenship. Now she will play for Switzerland. This was stated by the President of the Moscow Region Chess Federation, Sergey Karyakin.
– I can say that, of course, this is a big loss for Russian chess. Kosteniuk managed to win a lot in her career: she was the champion in the individual competition, and in the team championship she was the world and European champion. Despite my rejection of her position, there is no suitable replacement for her, in my opinion, our team will weaken anyway,” Match TV Karyakin quotes.
