Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Moro is so exciting to watch. I hope he’ll become #1 soon.
Bear in mind that their 2 matches (Leko, Moro) were the only 2 not involving an Armenian- whereupon quick draws were agreed in 10 moves upon announcement of the passing of a colleague (Asrian).
(Courteous of the opponents such as Adams who must have been favourite against Sargissian for instance)
