Gashimov and Motylev are leading the 2009 Karpov Poikovsky tournament in Russia while Shirov starts out with the 0-4 score!
Ivanchuk defeated Morozevich by the score of 2.5 – 1.5 to advance to the final. Carlsen trailed Wang Yue in their 4-game match by the score of 1.5 – .5 after 2 games. He won game 3 and drew game 4 to end the match with a tie. Carlsen won the second playoff game with the Black pieces to move into the Leon Rapid final to face Ivanchuk.
Anand won again today to lead Leko by the score of 4-2 after 6 game in their 8 game rapid match in Miskolc, Hungary. The final 2 games will be played tomorrow. Leko needs to win both to tie the match.

Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Susan is playing in the tournament!
Go Susan!
Thank you for standing up and fight for all members against the corruption of Goichberg, Hall, Jim Berry and the rest of their gang. Keep it up Susan!
I would like to see a Chess 960 match between Aronian and either Susan or Judit Polgar. Would this be a worthwhile idea to pursue?
Being a Chess Tigers and a member of the orga team during the Chess Classic Mainz (including the Chess960 Rapid World Championship), I like the previous idea of course since it would help us to promote Chess960 (in the US as well), but I doubt that this will happen. But maybe Susan thinks about coming to Mainz this year (maybe together with US champion Nakamura, who will play the Chess960 WCh)?! 🙂
How many people entered the Las Vegas tournament(total entries)?
About 1,100 players total I think.

I can. When I was on good terms with Susan, she told me that she does not like chess. She does it because that is the only thing she knows how to do.

Jimmie,
Don’t glorify SS. By answering him, it will legitimize his despicable behavior. Don’t fall into this trap.
Just look at what I am doing daily and make your own decision if I love chess or not 🙂
What have some of these people done for chess? I am about to award $150,000 in chess scholarship and prizes this weekend to young chess players at the LV Chess Festival. My foundation has awarded through our sponsors / supporters over $1 million in chess scholarships and prizes to players of all ages in the past few years.
If people truly care about chess, why not go out and do something to help our game instead of criticizing and attacking people who do? Chess politics is destroying chess and the USCF.
The so called reports by the USCF to the members are absolutely bogus, misleading and irresponsible. My attorneys will present this as more evidence against the people who abuse their power to bankrupt this federation.
I would challenge Mr. Hall to state to all the members how much money has the USCF spent defending my lawsuit in TX (which is covered by the USCF insurance) and how much money they have spent without delegates and members’ authorization to investigate and sue USCF members, delegates, volunteers, EB members, sponsors and supporters.
I would also challenge Mr. Hall to post the links to all my filings to show what they are being accused of. One sided, biased, misleading, and political motivated reporting is done to cover up the true problems. The USCF website and Chess Life should never be used for this purpose, especially when we are a non-profit organization.
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar
Susan,
Ive always supported everything you do and will always continue too. I believe in you and everything you do. There has never been any doubt in my mind at all. Everything you have said I have said in the USCF forums. You dont’ have to post this i just wanted to let you know. If i had a way to get to Vegas to help with your tournament I would surely do so. Tell Paul I said hello and If there is anything at all I can do to help just let me know jdbeatty79@atlanticbb.net 301 777 3175.
Susan when did you first start working with computers (practicing, making preparation etc.) Was it in late 1980’s, early 1990’s, in the middle of the 1990’s?
