Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
By looking at Eljanov – Anand game I wonder why, if strategically sound for both sides, the players don’t shake hands aside from the table, get the half point and go visit the museums in host city instead of performing the ritual of moving-pieces-out-of-decency-before-calling-it-a-draw. 🙂
Kramnik and Anand have cancelled each other out with their vendetta allowing others to steal their power!
Someone call Vishy to encourage him!
!!!
Corus is turning out to be a deam for some and a nightmare for others.
Feel the apathy.

A 2 year old baby who certainly would beat the $#@t out of you in less than 20 moves.
