Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Van Wely – Carlsen is the game to watch.
How come judit did play the French? Was this her first time? Someday she will even surprise us with 1.d4
White’s King in the open, Black’s pieces working together even at a huge material disadvantage – Black’s castle falls.
Carlsen wins again.
Actually, it’s White’s castle that falls.
White was looking good for a long time and somewhere lost the plot. Q+N once again proved what a combo they are.
Even more surprising is her use of the Rubinstein variation.
The aggresive Judit plays the French? Maybe surprise factor.
Well Judit’s coach used to be Lev Pshakis a fine French player!
