Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Kamsky is #3?
Onischuk is 1 point from 2700!
the demise of Mr. Kamsky is quite spectacular. when one thinks that he could’ve been Anand’s challenger instead of Topalov… a world match between N2 and N38 would’ve been truly a sponsor’s dream :)))
Awful lot of players who hardly ever play…
What kind of list is this???
Here is the true list of top 5 American:
Larry Christiansen 2578
Robert Hess 2572
Joel Benjamin 2566
Patrick Wolff 2564
Joshua Friedel 2555
Top American women is Jennifer Shahade 2322, by a large margin over the second placed Abby Marshall 2179.
