Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Caruana wins again, leads by 4 points
Fabiano could have been 4/4.
Caruana should reach 2800 very soon. Anand, meanwhile, looks bent on surviving with draws. He should really contemplate retirement. His peak years are well behind him. It’s all downhill now.
Truly wish this young, consistent and promising GM was associated with American chess.
