Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Kamsky will beat Cheparinov in their match.
I don’t think so… Expect 1/2
Cheparinov is on a hot streak recently
are you talking about topalov ???
A very American biased headline, that.
Kamsky beat the weakest player with white.
Surely more significant is that Ivanchuk beat Svidler with black!
