Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Well lets face it…Carlsen HAS been playing a LOT of chess lately….he played well below his form in England. Hopefully he wont be gone too long.
hey hey……this is last year’s lineup. this year’s lineup consists of Topalov, Gashimov, Grischuk, etc. Anand is not play at Linares this year..
Topalov
Aronian
Gelfand
Gashimov
Grischuk
Vallejo
… is the actual lineup, IIRC.
With Anand, Carlsen, Kramnik all absent, it looks like Linares loses a little prestige.
With Carlsen not even in the FIDE WCC .,,,, even FIDE loses prestige. If the best don’t think your championship is worth playing in…..what does that say?
Strange comment, Carlsen played in the WCC and lost.

What are you babling about? Carlsen is in the Candidates matches.
Carlsen will play in Candidates Tournament thanx to his rating.
Susan, change this line-up, cause it’s not correct.
