Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Go Wenjun!
Impressive performance by Ju. She should be on her way to 2600.
Chess requires great focus and concentration. The only way to improve concentration is to get plenty of practice. Chess requires you to concentrate for long stretches of time in an attempt to outplay your opponent.
Goryachkina who looked so strong has à hard time.
