And then there are 32
Hungary sent four 2700+ players to the World Cup in Khanty Mansiysk. Unfortunately, Leko was knocked out in round 1. Almasi and Berkes are also eliminated in round 2. The only Hungarian left in the final 32 is Judit. I believe she will face the winner of the Karjakin – So playoff which will take place tomorrow.
Movsesian – Judit Polgar

Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
nice, like to find Judith in the finals 🙂
congrats Judit! i hope you get to play Wesley but that’s unlikely coz Sergey is really strong 🙂
I like to see Judit do well. But Kosteniuk claims that she’s the only chess queen and she’s better than Judit. So what’s the truth? Is Kosteniuk telling the truth?
Hou may retain the title of women’s world champ or Humpy may take it from Hou,but the true women’s champ has been Judith for a very long time! The other chess queens are only princesses and they know it.
Kosteniuk never said that.
She cool, she cool. Yo.
Best wish to Judit in the next round. Like to see her in the final.
Dear Anonymous:
I’m getting tired of these anonymous Kosteniuk putdowns. Kosteniuk never claimed that she is stronger than Judit Polgar. And, thank goodness, there are lots of chess queens. Long live all the chess queens!!
Lucymarie
Great job, Judit. All your fans, myself included, are very excited by your strong showing in the World Cup.

I’m tired of seeing people defending the most arrogant chess player on the planet. Here is what on Kosteniuk’s website: And she is the one & only CHESS QUEEN…The ONLY Chess Queen? That’s a pompous statement, especially when she’s not even in the top 20 in the world.
BAM! Nice win today. Judit played close to perfect and Movsesian went astray. Judit is sharp right now! She can beat Karjakin.
I can’t believe Polgar is defending Kosteniuk. She knows what’s right and what’s wrong.
Anonymous, do us a favor and don’t post on Susan Polgar blog. You bring negative energy and you are arrogant.
What is a business plan? If you went for a job, would you sell yourself short? Would you strive to show you are better than the other candidates? Would you shut up and let them decide for you by giving the job to someone else?
I’m not sure what you have achieved in life, but Kosteniuk is a former Women World Champion. She has a website and she has every right to promote her successes.
Often companies market their products as superior to the competition. Allow the poor chess player time to earn her living (chess already does not pay that much). However, if you need to be bashful, look at yourself and what you’ve accomplished. If you are satisfied, then good. We’d like to hear of you in the papers, or on the global platform. But leave us alone with your tirade of abuse and ad hominems.I’ve gotten tired of your ridicules.
Now to the others, Judit is an amazing human being with such powerful personality!
A few express this power through writing, music, speeches… Judit Polgar, the beautiful and Chess Princess/Queen, the people’s darling expresses hers through powerful chess moves. When those moves coordinate just nicely for the final onslaught, there is no telling of its aftermath!
Below is just a small statement I made about Judit Polgar a few days ago:
http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2011/08/opportunity-to-feel-to-full-extent-how.html
Susan simply favors Kosteniuk so she won’t criticize her for her behavior. That’s wrong. People should be called out for questionable conduct.
Lucymarie and Ptionvlloi: well done!
Anon 10:10.
I am very sick of these anonymous attacks on GM Alexandra Kosteniuk. She earned her Women’s World Chess Champion title just like GM Susan Polgar earned hers, so get a life you (one or more) “Anonymous”. It’s easy to be a jerk when you don’t have the guts to use your real name to make spiteful, idiotic comments.
By the way, this is my real name. You can always find me at goddesschess.com or goddesschess.blogspot.com. You won’t last very long though because I don’t give any truck to cowards. Their comments are banned.
You’re all the same. You and Polgar are protecting Kosteniuk. Shame.
