Alexandra (twitter) is no stranger to my blog readers, her bright and cheery smile having already adorned my blog for some time now (right side bar). Alexandra’s mother is from Kiev, Ukraine while her father is from Kyrgystan. So quite naturally she learned to play chess at a very early age. You can read more about Alexandra’s start in chess HERE.
