Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Best performances by a woman? Certainly you, Susan, or one of your sisters, had the all-time best performance in an event. It is well known that the three of you reached heights way beyond any other female player. It’s interesting history to mention which were the best such performances. Tatiana’s performance in this event is quite high, does her 2774 pr approach the records? Thanks in advance for sharing a historical perspective on this.
Well done to both Kosintseva sisters!!!! I’m becoming a big fan of theirs! :)))
Go Duško!
