Personal life

Chess career

Kostenko is a four-time Kazakhstan national champion in classical chess. [1]

In 2004, he left chess. He returned two years later, becoming an active player again and earning the Grandmaster title. [2]

He competed in the 2014 Asian Chess Championship in Al-Ain. [3] One of his games at the tournament was against S. P. Sethuraman, which ended in a loss.

At the Dubai Open Chess Tournament in 2016, Kostenko played a game against Sandipan Chanda that lasted 5 hours and 142 moves--the longest game of the tournament. [4] The two ended their game in a draw.

In January 2020, Kostenko played in a round-robin tournament in Chelyabinsk as "training." [2] However, due to the COVID-19 Lockdown, that would be his only over-the-board chess event that year. He would compete in online chess tournaments, even winning the temporarily-online annual Akim Cup that same year. [5]

In May 2021, he competed in the Zone 3.4 Open Championship. [6] He placed 3rd out of 10 with 6½ points.

In December 2022, Kostenko placed 9th out of 14 in the Kazakhstan Chess Championship with 5½ points. [7]
