Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Magnus rules.
Magnus rules – thanks to Anand :-).
Make no mistake. Magnus is a great guy and we wish him further success.Of course a lot of young hounds snapping at his heels and the oldies won’t go away quietly.
bleh..Magnus didn’t lay his best..as was obvious thoughout this even and he still won….its pretty hard to argue with the fact that he’s just better tahn the rest…even when he doesn;t play his best.
