Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I am happy to see you susan have taken the step to moderate all comments. Personally I only read the articles but never the comments and I would not allow my children to read the comments because of the sexism and racism written about others.
I applaude your decision in bringing order to this site. This can now be a site where all people can now visit.
KUDOS SUSAN!
Chessbase in its report today does not even say who is the leader in the girls championship while mentioning the names of rating favorite Dronavali and the local player. Regardless, good luck Tatev
Great going local girl Tatev!
Couldn’t happen to a nicer person. Go get ’em Tatev.
You can’t stop Tatev, you can only hope to contain her.
Today with Tatev’s FIRST draw of 2008! She is a fighter!

All is quiet on the western front.
