I am heading to Mexico City later on today. When I am there, I will bring you plenty of exclusive pictures, videos, interviews and information. Some of them will be posted right here on my blog. Others will be posted on www.ChessDiscussion.com. So if you have not checked it out or registered for a free account on www.ChessDiscussion.com forum, be sure to do so to get all the latest scoops. It is the official chess forum for this blog and it is a premier place for chess lovers from around the world to come to discuss or share their passion for chess.
After the World Championship is done, I will ask some of the top players (GMs and IMs) to participate in the forum in various ways. I would like to see a stronger bond and understand between the professional, amateur and hobby players. It is bad for the game if we do not unite. We all have the same love for this game and it would be good if we can have mutual respect and help each other to make chess bigger and better.
I will also be doing commentary on site in Spanish and who knows what other languages 🙂 If you have specific questions you would like me to ask the players, please post it here or on the Chess Discussion forum.
Great job! Thanks for everything, Susan!
hey susan….Can u wish vishy
We Indians are following his games and he’s doing well. Plz tell him the wishes of 1 billion people are with him…cheers
1 billion is not enough. You must catch up with the Chinese 🙂 All kidding aside, yes, I will tell him. I have known Anand since were teenagers and he even stayed with our family in Budapest.
Best wishes,

Please ask him why he doesn’t play 1. d4.
Hi judith
I am unable to find where in what thread chessdiscussion.com are games being discussed………
Also need more analysis and predicitons from you on choice of openings from the GMs

I am a Chinese residing in
Asia, and I also support
Anand. That makes
1 billion + 1.
Please ask Gelfand why he thinks Anand, Leko, and Svidler all played the 5.Nc3 variation of the Petroff against him. Or perhaps you could ask Leko and Svidler why they insisted on playing it after Anand got nothing following this line. Did they see something in Gelfand’s past performances? Perhaps someone can tell you what was going on here.

Thanx a lot Susan
i always wondered how do they manage their stress in such a big events. How do they prepare for the big tournament like this? I also wonder if they have other jobs on the side or they just live off of playing chess.
Susan, I don’t know if you read this as long as you are over there in Mexiko City but if you do so and if you meet Morozevich later, please tell him that even if his style didn’t lead to success it at least gave him one more fan.
One German supporting him probably can’t compare with the billion plus one asians supporting Anand but it is a beginning. 🙂
I wish you a nice day at the tournament and thanks for all your work.
And don’t forget while being there and talking to some of the players:
keep it clean. 🙂
Best regards
Jochen
I really like your site. Say hello for Leko from Budapest!
susan…looks like anand is gonna win this one. I know Anand stayed with u, that’s why i like u..:)
Thank you for all the posts regarding the world championships!
My city’s paper has not printed one
word about the championships, to-
date. How are we supposed to get
the word out about chess to the public when they aren’t covering the games or even printing a summary of the day’s activities?
Please congratulate Gelfand and
Grischuk for overachieving as of
the halfway point of the tourna-
ment. This adds excitement to
the championships.
