This is getting a lot better than ChessBase. Susan, It will be a good idea to provide it with a good chess games replaying program (with a big interface that provides flipping the board and chosing of games without closing it in order to get a new one from the list you’re brousing).

Pourquoi n’avons-nous pas une soeur Polgar en France ?
Why haven’t we a Polgar sister in France ? (Sorry for my English …)
You can add Slovenija to the list Susan.

This is getting a lot better than ChessBase.
I totally agree. 🙂
As a (little) suggestion, I miss sometimes the FEN notation of the purposed positions for those who also like computer analysis.

Oh dear only 17 people from America, had luck Susan keep trying 😉
Long live to your blog Susan and thanks a lot for you work to promote Chess , greetings from France 🙂
I think that Susan is trying to say
that 17 % of the visitors are from US.
Am I right?

Susan starts several topics each day (presumably with some assistance from Paul Truong). But Susan’s blog cannot be said to show much conversation or interaction from Susan to her blog audience.
Certainly such conversation would consume even more time that busy Susan does not have. But…
Maybe I would encourage Susan to decrease the amount of time she spends starting new blog topics, then shift the time saved into conversing more with her blog participants.

I am surprised the participation from Germany is not higher. I wonder what percentage of Germans speak English?
Now that ChessTigers.de has a separate Womens’ Chess960 tournament and match championship, I would like to see Susan fly to Mainz in August 2007.
(But I understand that trips abroad cost money and take a single mom away from her kids.)
It could lead to a widely publicized chess960 match between A.Kosteniuk v. Z.Polgar.
Alexandra won at Mainz in 2006/08.
To do her part to give chess960 a chance at gaining a foothold, Alexandra has established a new website http:// www .PlayChess960 .com/

Let’s not insult Susan by mentioning Kosteniuk in the same sentence please. One is an ambassador to chess, the other is a model wannabe.
Greetings from POLAND 🙂
Gene,
More interaction than now? I correspond with hundreds of fans worldwide each week via email in addition to answering some on the blog as well as updating the blog 6-10 times daily on top of doing research for material for the blog. Sorry but only 24 hours in a day and one of me.
I do not consider the Mainz chess 960 event a world championship. I consider it the same as the Accoona Women’s World Championship. They are nice promotional events but let’s not mix apples and oranges.
Mrs. Kosteniuk and her husband know how to reach me. I welcome all challenges if my conditions are met. I believe our interests in chess promotion are 180 degrees different. I wish her the best with her endeavors.
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar

I can assure You Sir, that we speak much better English on this side of the Atlantic than on your side.
And nearly all Germans speeks good
English despite the fact that moast of them have been occupied by Russian, American and French speaking forces. Nowadays it i rear
to meet old people who says that
they rather speak German since Hitler did’nt allow them to listen
to the BBC when they were young.
Nowadays even young nazis speaks
English better than Ribbentropp.
This summer I meet a whole bunch of Highwaybuilders from Dresden staying
in my neighbourhood. They preferred to speek English since we mostly talked about computers. I often had
to get them all drunk to be able to
practice my not so up to date german.

This blog is using the blogger program to post. I know that some were able to do links in comments. I just do not know how.
Sorry!
