Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Abby Marshall should be in this tournament.
Anna Zatonskih is my personal favorite. She is smart, beautiful, educated, dresses well, intuitive, sharp, fierce, without fear, and does not overestimate any opponent.
“Abby Marshall should be in this tournament.”
Are you crazy?!?
Americans have nothing to do in US Championships. It’s for Europe and Asia only!!!
