Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Who is seconding to Yildiz in Nanjig?
I don’t trust coaches not from the same country as the player.
I love chess a lot.
My name is Berik Bo and I invented performance ratings in chess seven years ago. Un-fore-seen circumstances showed that the sytem is heavily in flaw. Look at Mrs. Yildiz, rated 1900, with 0/5 her PR is 1200. But this is not true, she doesn’t play like 1200, she plays much higher. There is no way to make the PR work properly, I tried many formulas to update te old one.
Yildiz blundered at the end to give Sebag the win. They were playing on increments. She was holding the draw till her last move.
‘Dzagnidze caught’
She runs slow.
Who is coaching to Yildiz in Nanjig?
Adrian Mikhalchishin – coach of WIM Betul Cemre Yildiz.
The Commission on Chess Publication, Information and Statistics (CHIPS) stresses the need for all chess players to take more care in their personal appearance.
The image of the chess player should be a dignified one, and dressing properly would not only show respect for the game, but also to sponsors, potential or otherwise, to make it worth their while to spend their money.
For example, some federations have barred slippers, sleeveless T-shirts and vests in their tournaments.
Those with unkempt and greasy hair should be admonished, as well as those wearing old or torn jeans and
battered attire generally.
‘Adrian Mikhalchishin’
The Russian/Ukranian/Slovenian grandmaster must polish up on his skills.
Can playeresses lose their titles, and not their ratings only?
No, strangely, a grandmaster once can have rating 1300 and still be a grandmaster. It’s strange. A little bit, not very much maybe. I dont know. World Federation makes these laws and there is no appeals committee.
I don’t trust coaches whose students make zero points.
Martha Fierro Baquero has disappointed me and all of her Ecuador fans thus far. Let us pray she gets a grip on her chess in the last some games. Otherwise, it is better to give up playing and be an official or coach.
‘Adrian Mikhalchishin

His skills have deteriorated with pretty old age, same as a chess players would. A trainer over 55 years of age should not be sent with young girls. Its better to send a young prodigy trainer instead.
