Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Gee, that was neat – seeing Susan’s good results back in the early 90’s in this tournament; I guess that partially explains the particular interest here.
Congratulations to Morozovich. He is a player that I think that many of us wish to root for – based on his results and style. Thinking back to his previous tournament (you know, the one where Carlsen beat him twice), it seemed to me that he would go out of his way to generate losing positons (!) – only to then turn the tables and win the game. This makes very entertaining Chess. I’ll forgive him his ‘lapse’ in that Q vs. R ending.
Forgive the off-topic rant; I just don’t trust any professional Chess players anymore. After the fiasco at the K-T match, it’s difficult for me to get excited over any results. My opinion is that Kramnik ‘cheated’ – either psychologically, or electronically, and is NOT to be ‘celebrated’. This is coming from an observer who did NOT trust Topolov, and had previously rooted for Kramnik – until I read and found out about what was going on (not only at this match, but at his two prior matches).
I hate to dwell, and the only reason I hadn’t expressed my opinion in the past month is because at this blog you’ve got a few regular posters with an ‘agenda’ – for unknown reasons they will chime in and tear down any anti-Kramnik sentiments with hostility and animosity. Maybe they were paid for this service; maybe they work for Kramnik; maybe they are just misguided zealots. I count about two people here; maybe 3. I have to say this, since I’m about to get brutally trashed for posting this comment; sorry – it’s been on my mind, and if I’m trashed by a couple of ‘anonymous’ posters, then so be it. I’m certainly not going to respond (but I’ll read the junk).
It’s not only me who feels this way; EVERY SINGLE ONE of my personal acquainances in the Chess world (something like 20) agree with me completely.
I’m a Chess teacher and tournament player. I am personally embarassed to report to little kids about the goings-on in the world of Chess nowadays; I refer to the K-T match, the wave of ‘cheating’, USCF politics, etc. I really don’t know what to say. This all saddens me to no end.
But back to Morozovich. Let’s assume for the moment that his fine results over the past 10 years have been legitimate, and without illegal assistance. You know what bothers me – as talented as this guy is, I remember when he first encountered Kasparov – and the few subsequent encounters after that. Kasparov totally dominated the ‘poor’ guy (in a fashion to the way Kasparov totally dominated Shirov in their encounters).
The sharpest tacticians; the most creative players of our time (including Adams, Short, Anand, J. Polgar, Moro, Shirov, etc.) could still not rise and show that the standard and level of play at the top – established by Kasparov – could be continued by his ‘successors’. (naturally I don’t count Kramnik here – not anymore).
So where is the true, world-class talent that we will be talking about 50 and 100 years down the road? Perhaps the rise of computer software has had the effect of diminishing human capacity, performance, and skill?? Something to think about (at least by me).
I’ve sent that Morozovich-Shirov game to lots of my friends. A true winner. OK – trash talk away, if the two of you feel obliged; I’ll post again in another MONTH or so.
Welcome back and thank you for your contributions!
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar

Jakovenko had an excellent performance rating, too, but poor Korneev! His was around 300 points below his rating. I think this is one tournament he’ll want to forget.
Yes, great contribution from mr. cat.
Insinuating that a top GM has been cheating without supplying any further details. Bravo !
Moro is the man — I love his games win or lose. I have made a Moro Database !
Hurra! Moro is THE player. I still can’t believe how Magnus Carlsen could outplay him, but the first of those games was a wonderful masterpiece. I want more games between them. Very creative and uncompromising style – that is what the audience want.
