Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
A benign observation Susan,
Dont see many comments now a days as before. Probably that was because I used to visit more during the Wch. But not sure!
I don’t have the number of posts but all other numbers are up.
Best wishes,

topalov is preparing his trademark comeback again!
You mean Topalov’s coach will be allowed in to do Rybka winks and gestures?
The guy looks like a mime when he signal Topalov… *wink wink, nudge nudge, e4…*
