Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Just read the news from the Malaysian official news agency a coverage of this news. The Malaysian reporter must be very proud to show Dr. Nicholas Chan becoming “a grandmaster” and that Hou “beat” Mchedlishvili.
It’s a mistake made by Bernama reporters because they are not “on the ground”. They just called up someone from the hotel and got their facts all mixed up.
