Russian Tatiana Kosintseva has taken the women's European chess championship, which ended in St Petersburg on Friday.

She first triumphed in the competition back in 2007.

In addition to a gold medal and the cup, Kosintseva gets a cash prize of 10,000 euros.

On March 18, Russian grandmaster Evgeny Tomashevsky won the men’s European championship in Montenegro.
