Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Gone to the form book so far- the 3 rating favourites who were 2780+ on the last list are the three winners in the first round.
Maybe we might be in for an exciting race between these three -but that is going out on a limb the others shouldn’t be written off just yet, but so far so good for Professor Elo.
Yes, I remember an almost religous ELO-race-discussion-per-move of Carlsen one month ago. But once his ass was kicked it luckily went silent. ELO is just a figure to rate a person over a period in life.
