Alexandra returns to the airwaves

Speaking of Alexandra, I discovered something interesting. If you search Google Images for "Alexandra Kosteniuk chess", on the sixth page of results* (2nd row, all the way to the right) you'll find a picture of none other than BCF President FM Paul MacIntyre. Hmmm, what to make of that?
