Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I think it’s quite fair to say that Kamsky is stronger than many top players, aside from the opening. His success and high rating using substandard openings is astounding.
His opening play is comparable to (as bad as) Joel Benjamin’s, yet he’s rated over 2700.
Interesting…..Mamedyarov beats Kramnik who beats Kamsky who beats Mamedyarov…..nice circle:)
gettem Judy, beat errbody!, Good point anon.
