2008 Women's World Chess Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk was a aspiring model.
An aspiring model who uses her good looks to promote chess, Alexandra Kosteniuk learned to play from her father when she was 5 years old and has been compared to Russian tennis knockout Anna Kournikova. But, like Kournikova, Kosteniuk has managed to broaden her sport's appeal by selling her combination of talent and beauty.
Alexandra Kosteniuk, 24, won the Women's World Championship in her homeland of Russia last September. After several months of traveling the globe, Kosteniuk, her husband, Diego Garces, and their 20-month-old daughter are settled back at their home in Key Biscayne.
World chess queen (Alexandra Kosteniuk) wants to open a chess academy online, keep training, doing the podcast. But right now, Alexandra's priority is being a mommy.
Chess masters get ready for the academy!...

She's the women's world champion, but she's far from the best woman chess player in the world. She isn't even in the same league with Judit Polgar (who doesn't play in insultingly segregated women only tournaments.)
