Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I think this kid is even better than Carlsen.
Well he can’t stand blood, so I prefer Carlsen.
I often wonder why Van Wely keeps playing…yes of course he`s a good player but there is no way he`s an Elite player. In all the things I`ve done in my life…I always cut it off when I reached my peak…this guy should do something else…I mean..whats the point, If you can`t be the best….even one of the ten of the best….I don`t understand the effort….like farting bubbles in the tub…not worth anything and nobody will remember.
This must be your last comment on this blog then if you act consequently. You’ve peaked great Anonymous, who ever you are.
