Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Go Karpov!
if to be precise,standings of the 5th round:
Nakamura has 4,5 Pts.
Svidler Peter 3,5 Pts.
Ponomariov Ruslan 3,5 Pts.
Why isn’t Karpov playing like the old Karpov of the late 1970’s?
@Anonymous 1:58AM: That was the young(er) Karpov – he has gotten old by now, lacks tournament practice and maybe didn’t adapt to the ‘computer era’ in chess.
Nakamura – Ponomariov draw (14 moves).
