Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Right now he’s looking a lot like the best player in the world. Of course he has to continue to prove this. But three wins in four games against this competition is incredible. As his competitors become a little afraid of him (as they necessarily will) he can take advantage of their passivity by playing very sharp and aggressive lines (As he is).
‘Right now he’s looking a lot like the best player in the world.’
He’s looking like a kid with no childhood except analyzing chess behind closed doors.
Bullshit. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Magnus is, for instance, a very skilled football player. You don’t become that if you spend your childhood behind closed doors.
