Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Nice job Anna.
For those of you who asked why I did not list #10 on the women’s list, the reason is quite simple. Nearly every time her name is mentioned here, there are dozens of nasty posts attacking her. I leave her name out to protect her.
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar
