Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Aagaard has been my choice.
Plays for Scotland rather than England and the pundits haven’t noticed him yet.
Bit late putting in my prediction.
That’ll probably be the end of him…….

Rowson is the other Scot. Nice finish yesterday.
Nice to see you guys so interested in UK chess.
No posts.
Maybe if one of the Brits was really an Italian?….

I guess Mr. Nigel Short had to miss this tournament due to “bad teeth” or , perhaps, he thinks everyone will cheat or threaten to beat him up.
Mr. Short…where o’ where are you?
