Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Le is about to break 2700. Nice.
Watch Giri.
Where are the American juniors (Caruana is not playing for the USA). Sadly, none are in the top 20.
Lenderman, Hess, etc. are good players with bright futures, but still quite a distance from the world’s elite among their peers.
