Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Caruana’s strength has really surged. He will soon join Carlsen and Aronian as the “Big Three” of chess. USCF must be salivating to make him an American again. All they have is Nakamura, who’s laying eggs in London.
It was very good result for Caruana who ended in front two top world players, Carlsen and Aronian..
