Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Kramnik will break 2800 again.
Kramnik will break 2800 if he cheats again
Good endgame technique from Ponomariov against sore loser Leko.
“Kramnik will break 2800 again.”
Only if the rating lists keep on inflating.
Look at Ponomariov playing the endgame and you forget about Capablanca.
