Nana Alexandria

A small mishap happened when I was invited to the Senior World Championship. Due to the imprecise invitation, it was not clear to some travelers that they had to have reached the minimum age on January 1st. Like Nana Alexandria , for example , who only turned fifty in the spring of 1999. There were tears. A solution to the problem was found by offering her to explain interesting games to the Gladbachers, so that she had not come for free.
