Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I thought Skripchenko retired?
Not really retired. She still plays team championships, some tournaments and even if she didn’t play French championship last year, there is money 🙂
And who knows, maybe she is not doing so well with poker finally? She is lucky, she can switch from one to the other!
