Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I’d like to report my TotoScacco free game, where it’s possible to predict the results, with daily and final rankings and also an Elo system.
Thanks, Alex
I am all excitement. OOOOOOOOf, I am a lost-case addict!!
The game between Aronian and Moro is going to be very interesting, because both players can play very tactically. Another game I am going to be focusing on is Gelfand Anand. I am going to be rooting hard for Gelfand against the invincible Anand. I hope and even pray that Gelfand will hold a position and not lose face. If he will it will indeed be satisfying and the game could develop in an interesting way.
egaion, I see you being pumped up and just wanted to remind you:
Keep your energy, stay cool, and expect 4 solid draws for today.
Where did the pairings come from? I checked mexico site and chessbase and nothing so far.
I would like to see pairings of all 14 rounds.
