Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Topalov will rule tomorrow!
Down with Topalov.
I hope he loses the next 2 games.
Apparently more accusiations of cheating against topa. How difficult is it to conduct a tournament where players are cut off from spectators and cables and what not?
Ofcourse it will reduce the charm of walking around the players etc. But, well things move on.
