Last week sexy model Alexandra Kosteniuk won the Women’s World Chess Championship 2008, beating the Chinese prodigy Hou Yifan in the final.

Yep this Russian beauty has got brains as well as a hot body - and she’s still only 23!

She became a Grandmaster at 14, the youngest woman in the world to attain the title, and at 18 took a set off legendary chess champion Anatoly Karpov.

She decided to do some catwalk and glamour modeling to atract a younger audience to the game of chess. I wonder does she compete in a bikini? I’d watch a dull game of chess any day of the week if she did.
