My long time friend Frederic Friedel, founder of ChessBase, just put up a piece about SPICE and Texas Tech. Here is the link.
The coverage of the Polgar Chess Day with my sisters and I just started to surface. A number of newspapers have put this story on the back cover ahead of other major sports. Here are just some of the online links so far:

Excellent coverage!
Congratulations on the successful event and on the successful tour. I want to thank you for the coverage of all this in the blog. It was exciting and it brought me to tears.
But, alas, it did not hit the international sports news scene, i.e. BBC Sports etc. Only on the local- national Hungarian media.
I do not mean to undermine the excellent coverage that the Polgar event had attracted. I just mean that there is a bigger challenge to hit in the future.
Best wishes

P.S. Because of the language barrier I could not read the articles. Can I details about the results of the Simu?
