Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
chess needs more people like karpov and polgar.
the kid on the picture looks scared. but i guess when the white pieces belong to Anatoly Karpov, feer is unavoidable.
I know the kid on the picture-he may have a scared expression on his face but in fact he is a very smart/focussed kid and gave Karpov a good game.
Great shot!!
