Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Nakamura is unstoppable. He’ll win it by a full point and win the Spanish Princess’ heart. Go Nakamura!
“win the Spanish Princess’ heart”
What?
Last time I checked, Naka wasn’t a peter puffer.
Yow!
Man, Svidler is just plain disappointing. Yesterday he drew in 12 moves, today in 18. He does not even pretend anymore to fight for first place. Very sad for such a strong player.

I took a look into the future. Naka will lose 3 out of next 4 games. Sorry.
Nakamura looks losing…Chapeau bas if he holds it and took half point.
Granda blundered so Nakamura luckily saved the draw. Why dutch opening?
Looks like Granda Zuniga messed up the ending.
Nope, Nakamura held himself and drew against Granda Zuniga. And Karpov lost AGAIN, this time against Vallejo Pons in an advance Caro Kann. I am almost feeling sorry for him…
Karpov needs to retire and promote chess with his name. This legend is tarnishing his legacy everytime he plays. I want to remember the brilliant Karpov and not the one who struggles against the young hungry lions.
So it is Nakablanca or Capamura?
That’s the question of the day.
