23 April 2010
April is a wonderful spring month and so I would like to congratulate the wonderful women’s chess players who were born this month.
3 women’s world chess champions were born in April:
10th women’s world chess champion Antoaneta Stefanova was also born on April 19 but 10 years later, in 1979
The same birthday – April 23 – as me is shared by Pia Cramling (born on April 23, 1963 in Stockholm, Sweden) and Lela Javakhishvili who was also born on April 23, 1984.
Two strong russian chess players Tatiana Kosintseva (born April 11, 1986 in Arkhangelsk) and Ekaterina Kovalevskaya (born April 17, 1974) also celebrated their birthdays this month.
