Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Rapid / Blitz World Cup Playoff
Aronian, Kamsky and me 🙂
Aronian, Svidler, and Bareev
Kamsky has really done well. I think he might pull and upset and win this. I think he deserves it. He’s a great player and, though not a Kramnik or Anand, he seems to really be working hard on some of the weaknesses shown in previous tournamnts.
Congrats GM Kamsky…the U.S. is proud of you and the flag that is by your name at each tournament!
I Think the russians are great – especially the newcomers Jakovenko and Alexeev. They proof that Russia is the homeland of chess.
okay
I do not know who will win the playoffs, but the players who have a chance against Topalov are:
Svidler
Shirov
maybe Aronian
maybe Ponomariov
the little ones will drop the wine today !
The anonymous who said Aronian, Svidler and Bareev was rigth on target!
Kamsky won as black in the second rapid game over Svidler.
Good luck Kamsky versus Ponomariov!
Is the picture a ‘perspective joke’, or is it a cardboard cutout cup on the plinth?
Jakavenko, Gata and Alekseey won and proceed to next round!!!!
