Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Where is GM Monika Soćko?
Womens Grand Prix is doomed from the begining.
Nobody knows when, where, how many and if the GP tournaments are going to be played. Best 18 women players should participate in the GP series, but the line-up for the 2nd GP is almost completely different than in the 1st one, meaning that already there have been some “replacements”. And the strength of the field is much to be desired.
I say forget about Women GP. If they couldn’t push through the way it was planned with the “men” GP, then they sure hell wont with the women GP.
