Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Susan,
Judit is my favorite chess player (sorry)! I like her attacking style and the way she conducts herself (ladylike). She deserve to win and she deserves to be crowned “World Champion”. It is my sincere hope that she will be.
Todd
Onischuk plays Judit. Another face off for leaders. Important game tomorrow. One can move up and the other down.
I dont know if I am made for competition. I melt under the pressure. But I think I can hold up to watch the game.
Todd I would go wild if Judit won the World Championship. That would be the greatest for chess world wide. We would get unbelieveable good publicity.
unfortunately she is out of this cycle leading up to Mexico. Actually Ivanchuk is now probably #2 based on games through today and should be in Mexico.
In the 7th Round
Van Wely Loek
Teimour
Why Teimour resigned?
Anyone explains?
