Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Wow! Kasparov is back playing chess!! Congrats!
Is it true that you refused to give interviews for free at one point in carreer?
What’s the difference today? Should top players give interviews for free?
I asked about this a few days ago and no one said anything!
Thanks for posting…
Hi Susan, can you please arrange it such that whenever you post a game, i.e. the moves of the game, it should be possible to play it out on a board by clicking a link next to that thread or next to the displayed moves, on your website. Can you please do that? Thanks!
If Kasparov came back to chess, he would crush all the current weak pretenders to the throne, including Kramnik. Only Carlsen of the future would stand a chance against Kasparov!
Hi Susan, I also request the same which one of the anonyms asks for click and play option of the listed moves.
thx

This game was not played in the simul but in head too head ,see Youtube.
Since it’s not a simul, FIDE should rate this game and put back Kasparov as number 1.
That would be funny.
The game was played on March 30. As an April’s fool joke, Kasparov should have been back number 1 on the April rating list.
That’s not a simul’s picture. That’s a sure thing.
Garry only takes his watch off for real games, I don’t see his handkerchief that means he didn’t think he would need it 🙂
I’ve seen the man play simuls, he’s the real thing! He stood 3 minutes in front of my kid’s board and came up with such a nice combination landing in mate, that I envied my kid for being beating like that.
that was only one V.I.P game
