Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Yawn! How do you spell anti-climax?
An early wéék for Mr. Anand!
Even his loss hardly took time.
More respect, please
Both ways please. Does Anand show respect to the public and sponsors?
And I dó have respect for his strength: this is exactly why I see he ducks his duty!
Just do it better one time in your life!
He has done much more than others for this sports, and he is always humble and friendly.
Let him play his way a few days before it really counts
He should be very humble now. He’s bottom ranked. Warmed up for his match, as an undercooked cooky.
Kasparow never played like this in any tournament. He was a gem for the sport. He is my hero and always was an inspirational world champion. Anand is nice, but how do I enjoy this replaying his games?
Aronian is beating Radjabov
YEAH!
Where do you watch it?
Radjabov seems to have a winning attack… if he is on the right track!
44… Qd3 was quite strong, I guess… now Aronian is in a mess! 🙂
*sigh* Magnus is so cute 🙂 and being practically 2800 doesn’t hurt either!
