Good luck, Judit! Great play.
Hey look, someone’s tripping out over Kosteniuk again….get a friend, get a life, get some help.
The hang-up with K is really kind of stale by now, don’t you think…when you think.
Belittling someone who has achieved so much in chess gives this writer no credibility whatsoever.
This blogger’s rationale (if there is one) for disrespecting someone, a beautiful being, at that, completely wonders how people can waste their time through vitriol. It is ok to disagree with someone.
Kasparov was extremely rude to Anand during their championship match, yet, Anand retains a certain level of civility. Today he is at the top of chess.
I am no fan of Kasparov, for he was a champion with no class. He was a chess genius who sought division more than anything. It is ok to compete and not having to hate your opponents. Anand has proven it. Hou Yifan has proven it.
The Polgars have reached the pinnacle of chess without hating others who paved the way or others who are below theirs in chess strength. They came and conquered and soon were much too strong and have proven that women are equally as intellectual and have the fighting spirit (if not more) for a game like chess. Now that is class!
Good people are very hard to find. It seems so much easier to hate even when the situation is so not warranted. The chess circles have many combatants. One needs to be. But the players have so much respect for each other (save some).
Alexandra Kosteniuk is a champion who grew up watching the Polgar sisters break records and raising the bar.
I have noticed the same pattern of vitriol against her and I would urge you to find something that pleases you. You are not a fan, fine!
Having said that, I’m a zealous fan :). There was a time I knew nothing about women’s chess. I love to see how so smart these players are and just how good this bunch is. They have their own bracket of strengths, one I could not even be a part of, I’m so weak. Some have become GMs so young, it is hard to imagine why the prize fund is not that much higher.
I could write so much about arrogant people like you, but I’d rather show the good side of chess, indeed of people in general, rather than waste too much space to your ridicules. Yes, it is not a perfect world…. yadi yada.
While I’m at it… Enjoy these beautiful chess ladies and see if life could not be so much worth living after seeing such beauties.
Cheers! And no hard feelings.

Why can’t Kosteniuk be modest and humble like Tatiana Kosintseva or Natalia Pogonina? Why does Kosteniuk feel that she’s god or something? Gimme a break.
Pogonina is the sexiest and nicest female player on the planet.
Hey gang! I wrote a reply here to this anonymous who keeps denigrating Kosteniuk. Perhaps, it was too long a philosophical reply to be posted here given the space.
But the blogger can glean a bit what my reply was. Why let someone ruin it for the rest of us?
For us less bitter, we can enjoy the talents of these beautiful and smart women. Tennis got theirs, we got ours 🙂
Check them out below:
Pogonina,Kosintseva, Mariam Masour, Tania Sachdev… they are all there. The polgar sisters, of course are also there ( a rare pic together)!!
Have fun!

Kenny,
It is very tiring having to monitor these anti Kosteniuk posts. I wish these people just leave her alone. She can do whatever she wishes, good or bad. Unfortunately, others are being attacked on other sites, including me. That’s life, I guess.
Best wishes,
Susan
OMG… this was the legendary Susan Polgar!
(cool and collected now)

You have done so much for chess. You lead the clan of the beautiful and amazing chess stars.
Cheers!

I apologize for the double post but I will not be misunderstood.
With “As usual” I meant that is often mentioned Kosteniuk and go OT.
As usual.
The post was on the good performance of Judit. My sincere congratulations to her.

The world is unjust, “Kenny G”.
You write something and Susan Polgar meets you.
I admire Susan for many years and never replied.
No, the world is not perfect. 🙂
Best regards.
Stef
