Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Good for Grischuk that despite napping away during (?!) the game he is still among the leaders. Behold what happens should he awaken!
Vassily, wake up man
First seed (Ivanchuk 2781) and bottom seed (Al-Modiahki 2556) are still on the same score after 5 rounds!
Who would have thought it?
Unbelievable!
anon 4:39
no worries, he is still only half a point off the lead despite his terrible start!
There are still 8 rounds left
+2 might win it this time.
