Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Let’s see how Naka will do.
I’d love to see Naka make a strong move and move into top 15-20 this year.
What’s new with Granda? I remember years ago he was top 20? In a tournament someone played Chigorin’s Defense to his QG…he had never seen it before. Did he ever make the effort to get current with opening theory? Or did he just settle into his farm and be happy?
Hope Svidler will play well as he can!!!

Isn’t Ponomariov’s first name Ruslan?
Yes, Rustam is Kasimdshanov!
B.t.w. featuring Pono the Ukrain would have won Dresden! What a pity he was not there.
okay
