9Queens and Chess Queen Alexandra Kosteniuk!

As part of 9Queens' Fifth Annual Chess Fest, 12th Women's World Chess Champion GM Alexandra Kosteniuk played a 40-gam simul in Tucson, Arizona.

The 9Queens website hasn't been updated with the most recent information/photos yet, but you can read a little at Alexandra Kosteniuk's Facebook Page.

See also 9Queens' Facebook Page with some nice photographs of Alexandra in the simul, etc. 

The simul was held at the Congress Hotel.

    Hey Chess Queen it was a pleasure meeting you. My kids were all so excited and you can imagine our journey home. There has only been one topic of discussion for the last 18 hours - YOU and Chess. Thanks for all the fun.

    This is amazing, Chess with kids is not only sports but an overall personality and mental development. Thanks to people like Alexandra who would take time out from their super busy schedules for kids !!!!!
