Go Gata! Go!
Wow! Kamsky and Short in the same tournament.Anyone recall the famous 1994 match incident with Gata’s father threat to kill Short ? Will they shake hands ? It should be interesting to see on thursday 26th.
did you notice the article about russian chess kids in estonia on acp website? horrible…
This will be great! Ivanchuk is playing fantastic chess and this will be a test for Gata Kamsky’s opening preparation. I am a long time Gata fan so I hope he wins First Place but Chuky will be tough the way he has been playing lately.
