Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Carlsen is playing some of the big boys! I am really looking forward to this tournament.
I believe Yelena Dembo has a very good chance to take first in the Women’s section. She has been performing very well this past year and her rating has risen very quickly – placing her rank as 15th. in the World !
Go Almira!!!
Really cute girl.
