Tennis Queen Maria Sharapova Wants to Learn Chess
Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2012


Hi everyone,


Guess whom we found on Facebook expressing a ‘profound’ chess desire. Of course, the Tennis Queen Maria Sharapova from Russia. Here is what she writes on her FB page.
Here is what I was doing while in Stuttgart…no no, not playing chess, just taking walks in some of the parks and pretending like I knew what I was doing with a chess board. Would be nice to learn…perhaps it will help my patience. — Maria Sharapova




Wouldn’t you highly recommend that the Tennis Queen and the Chess Queen meet up for a chess dinner?
