I got this in the mail from Kostenium.com and even a handwritten note! Why? I really can't remember except that it had something to do with her launching her website that year and I replied to one of her posts. She asked for my address and I didn't think much of it until I got a package in the mail.

2005 was significant because she officially got her Grandmaster(GM) title having earned it in 2004 as well as well as won the Russian Women's Chess Championship. Her FIDE rating at that time was 2691 and she started her own website (or I think her father helped her set it up). Sending fan packages like this to people like me must have cost a fortune!

Trivia she did ask to be invited for one of the Malaysian Chess Festival but Hamid said we could not afford the appearance fee which was RM 10,000 (I think).
