I will send Judy a gift if she beats Chucky.
Good break for Anish Giri, being given the chance to play the elite players so soon. Hope Wesley So also gets opportunities like these.
I will send Chucky a gift if he draws with Judy.
Judit will win this tournament with ease.
Nice to see Judit playing chess again.
