Not as such. But here she is as Black in a game that COULD have begun as a Bird's if White had adopted a Leningrad formation and then pushed e4 later.

Brains as well as beauty!

In fact Alexandra herself has played the Dutch Defence (including the Leningrad), but here she is winning in the Stonewall Variation.

So much for the argument (put forward in another thread) that ... f5 is a bad move !!

?:-(

ClivetheBeard

Well, I'm glad we agree on that point Gil!

Ciao, Clive

I thought I was Alexandra's biggest fan, but I see Clivethbeard has really been studing her games. I was mainly following her progress in the game an pulling for her as a fan. I was hoping she would one day contend for the world championship, like the Polgars. Since she has a baby now, I guess that is out of the question.
I haven't seen where she has been playing recently. I can only hope she returns soon. She plays like a demon

Thanks Gil

I had actually worked this out. But I don't read Portuguese so I didn't get this particular point.
