Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Kramnik is better than Anand? This is troubling to Anand.
Will we continue to see Judit make a run at the top 10?
She’s already in the top 10. Been there, done that.
Kramnik blah blah blah.
Finally we see Kramnik, the only true world champion, the only one to beat Garry Kasparov in a match, at the top where he belongs.
Chess is more than “K is better then A.” Childish, these posts.
okay
When will Karpov stop embarrassing himself and simply enjoy his retirement??
To anon
“Finally we see Kramnik—–“
Don’t behave like an idiot. Kasparov wanted to retire,his powers were waning, and he gave the title to Kramnik. Guess he did not like Shirov,the rightful challenger.Of course Anand did not defeat Kramnik in their head to head encounter.
