Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Texas will win.
WebsterU will WIN again, with or without GM Wesley So. The team is loaded with star power from different countries, they even have a Team C which could wipe the ass out of the other. As long as Susan Polgar is in Webster, they will win. A mere stare by Susan as they say can SCARE the heck out of the male coaches of other team LOL
I’m rooting for Brown University.
