Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Karjakin has bitten the big one lately. C’mon ya dang prodigy!
If Judit goes on performing the way she is doing and if Koneru can perform a bit better than what she is doing, Koneru can actually take No.1 spot in women’s section
Morozevich has a rating of 2772. FIDE still can’t round up properly like they did with Radjabovs rating in the previous list. they needed 3 months to correct the mistake and round up Radjabov’s rating properly.
hey Judy see what youve done to the womens game, when you set the bar high, they watchin and before you know it there here! chess is some kinda special huh? haha. Peace
>>
If Judit goes on performing the way she is doing and if Koneru can perform a bit better than what she is doing, Koneru
>>
I’m afraid 70 points is a LOT at that level. They’re worlds apart.
Awww, Nakamura missed 2700 by one point.
Hou Yifan still a WGM? She is already a GM and she had beaten Koneru this year.Happy New Year to all!
And Hou Yifan’s not in the top junior list. I wonder if juniors are reserved for males only.
