It was a great promotional event to the non-chess people. Thousands who work in the downtown area were able to watch the simul during their lunch hour. It was a great event by the Cris Collinsworth ProScan Foundation.
Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Susan, did anyone score against you? I wish you could come to California :o)
Absolutely OUTSIDE.
The big name summer tournaments between masters should held outside, to gain attention for chess.

Dear Susan,
I’m the Associate Editor for Orato.com, a news Web-site based in Vancouver, Canada, which aim to put a human face on the news by showcasing vivid, first-person stories from individuals involved in current events. Unless the traditional media, we showcase stories told by the protagonist or witnesses of the events that are shaking the world, always in their own words.
The reason why I’m contacting you is that we want to write a story about you and your involvement in the Chess world. We want to know about your beggining, about that time when the World Chess Federation barred women from competing in its international championship and, therefore, you weren’t allowed to compete,etc.
Would you be interested?
If so, please send me and e-mail at:
