Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Hammer Time!
Yeah i know im avoiding theses kids like th Plague!. Susan they got two chocolate ones over at the chessdrum i think Josh and Justus had a match and i think imade an unusual comment there Susan i dont know where this stuff is coming from! Susan help me!!! hehe. and where’s my middle sister?
Erwin L’Ami has 5 out of 6 now, with a TPR of 2821, he should be in 4th place.
PdV
Chocolate? Kids come in flavors? I am certain a specific ex-taxicab driver can verify this.
Hammer time indeed!!
Could it be his good friend Magnus (and even his coach?!!) helping just a little with prep? Or as Magnus stated himself: It is enough that the opponent THINK that some 2800-dude is lurking behind 🙂
Nevertheless… Go Hammer!!!
