Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Webster was lucky. They’re not that good.
Dude. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Great victory. No fluke. Strongest team won.
I beg to disagree. Wesley is good. Anyone can pull an upset on higher elo rated chessplayer.
dude they were the best team overall by rating…besides u try to play against a player 700 points higher than you.
they are the best team and u have to respect that. besides I didn’t see any other team beat them so..ur logic is horrible.
