Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
The Russian chess league is on this week too.
Who will win the Anand – Topalov match?
Who’s better? Akobian or Shulman? Who will win the match?
Akobian? Shulman? Never heard of them. Who are they???
Shulman wins!
Shulman vs Nakamura would be more interesting.
Akobian will win. He’s much better in rapid and blitz.
Topalov will win by 2.
I will win!
My favourtie chess player of all time was Capablanca. Here is an excellent personal account of Capa:
