In the next few days, I will try to bring you some exclusive video interviews with the organizers, various FIDE officials, team Rybka and Zappa, etc. I will try not to bother the players until after the event is done.
All video interviews will be posted on www.ChessDiscussion.com. Be sure to check them out. If you have not registered yet, the simple process will take you about 30 seconds. Almost 500 people have joined in the past week.
If you have interesting questions you would like to suggest for me to ask, please feel free to post them here. Please keep the questions short as I will try to get in as many questions as possible.
Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Susan, how would you explain that there has not been a single Sicialian game? Do you think it takes guts to play a sharp Sicilian on that level? Thanx
Are you suprised Raffael and Trudodur being last?
Can you ask the Rybka team if they plan on improving the analysis engine even more and what is the maximum strength it can get to. Thanks.
Please ask Rybka if they had played ever a simul? I know its a machine, but maybe it can get a bit tired playing against 10 GMs simoultaneously!?
Dear Susan,
Please ask FIDE officials World Championship plans for the next few years. I think that tournaments should classify players for candidates matchs, as well as the world champion should come up from a match. What is FIDE positions form the next years?
Thanks in advance,
Ronald
Hi Susan
Gee, I envy you ! Sometimes I wish to have been Susan Polgar, living and breathing chess; you are breathing chess all the time almost and of course in Mexico. It is great and I know you are enjoying tremoundously.
Have you talked with Dennis Monokroussos? He also took the trip to Mexico. He has a chess blog that you probably know called “the chess mind”. If you speak to him send him my regards I think highly of his work. Best wishes
Abie Weiler
Where can I get one of those sets??
