Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Kosteniuk could beat both of them easily.
If Kosteniuk could beat both of them, I’m curious why she isn’t there. It’s clear that she’s not at her best for quite a while
#19 Vs #38
I would rather watch a truck driver Vs tram driver game.
But at least 2 beautiful drivers. Much more exiting to me than say Ifan- Koneru.
Not the best game fot both though especially Anna – 1st shaky game for her here doing 5-6 consecutive bad moves to turn the slight advantage in a lost position. But in the zeinot the instinct of survival worked much better than her mind today and escaped by a miracle once more. But please don’t try 3rd time Anna, it may not happen again!
beautiful? Anna classy looks. Stefanova – screams cheap. Hou and Koneru had grace – important..
