These photos were taken on August 28, 2005 in the Moscow park "Muzeon", where the Moscow Chess Blitz Championship took part. This is probably the strongest city chess blitz championship in the world, and Alexandra, current Russian Women Champion, was the only woman playing in this very tough tournament.
