Nadezhda Kosintseva and Tatiana Kosintseva are not playing for the Russian team because of a conflict with their senior coach Sergey Rublevsky. Details of the conflict are not known. Rublevsky has confirmed that the girls refused to play for the team. Chief coach of the national chess teams of Russia Yevgeny Bareyev said that “Kosintseva sisters have ignored the invitation to the training camp prior to the tournament and this decision means that they refused to play for the Russian team.” "One of the girls is in the United States now and is negotiating with American Chess Federation,” Bareyev continued. The Women's World Team Chess Championship 2013 kicked off in Astana on March 2.
