Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
The Chinese are so much better than the Russians. Bring on Kramnik! China still wins.
What about Kramnik, Svidler, Morozevich, Grischuk, Rublevsky, Bareev, Malakhov?
I think on the last men’s World Team Russia (Svidler, Morozevich, Grischuk, Bareev) beat China 3.5:0.5,
but of course China is a great power now.
China is rising in many aspects. In chess, Chinese women team is much stronger than the Russian.
