The games below form a small chronological journey through Alexandra Kosteniuk’s play in this collection. Follow the changing positions, compare the critical decisions, and test the ideas against the saved engine evidence.
This selection connects defence, endgame, draws, strategy. Start with the earliest game, then ask how the same priorities appear in a different opening or against a different opponent. These lessons are a curated sample, not a complete career record or a claim about the player’s intentions.

Each lesson provides its recorded players, event, date precision, original score source and analysis provenance. When the game record supplies only a year, the collection preserves that uncertainty. Historical context is kept separate from modern engine findings.
