Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar

I think the kid will win it all.

My dear anon Tuesday, September 8, 2009 2:01:00 AM CDT, I am a Singaporean. That tower is the famous Petronas Twin Tower and I had taken pictures there. It is not Singapore. Check your info first before you post anything silly.
Yeah, thats definitely the Petronas Twin Towers.
