Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I have often had dreams of playing with Liv Tyler, too, but not chess.
I am wondering if he played a game with Liv Tyler, and more importantly, did he mate her?
shouldn’t aronian be 2825??
Aronian should not be 2825. They took 5 points away because he got punched out in a pub spat over the lovely Arianne.
