Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Carlsen 1-0.
’nuff said.
My baby gonna do good!
I feeds him Orange Juice every day!
10% chance Onischuk wins
40% chance Magnus wins
50% chance draw
I watched Magnus’s interview at chessbase, the kid sounds so mature it can only be scary to opponents.
…predicting an easy draw for Onischuk – Carlsen. 1/2-1/2
Yesterday Magnus was lost, but Bacrot played like an idiot. Even in blitz a good player should not be able to play three blunders in four moves like Bacrot did. Magnus was very lucky, and must play much better vs Onishuck.
Carlsen has now worries whatsoever.
He is on 2.5/3, and needs just 4/7 in the remaining games to improve his rating, which he can easily do against this field.
