Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Hikaru will dominate.
Yeah he will dominate as a SPECTATOR.
Not much hype in the Challenger’s tournament now that Magnus is now the World Chess Champion…
Where is Caruana?
Noone will beat Nakamura in the candidates!
Noone will beat Nakamura in the candidates!
Caruana & Naka need to FIRST qualify before they can dominate.
Not playing- Grischuk, Gelfand, Caruana, and most of all Naka. What a joke is this candidates tournament. Just exclude anyone who can beat Sven Magnus.
