Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
The women’s team seems to be missing someone. Hmm who could it be? I don’t know.. can’t think of the name offhand. 🙂
How much does it cost to send both of our teams to Europe to play?
I have no idea. The biggest expense would be the players’ honorarium. I do not know what is in their contracts this year.
Best wishes,

Players should be motivated, too, for a good result made! Should it be by individual wins and draws made, or a team result, I don’t know what’s best.
The men’s team has good chances for a medal. The women’s team has no chance. They won’t even finish in the top 5.
