Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Anand won! That was a quick game
topalov is smoking the crap out of aronian
Sincerely, it is extremely frustrating that a super tournament like Morelia-Linares, which is one of the biggest events for chess fans all over the world…..cannot get a decent website together every year for this event. Even a 5 year old can get a website together these days…how come the organizers of this even could ignore this. I hope the sponsors of this event take this as one of their deciding factors next year when the organizers of this event come knocking at their door. I also hope that the Linares half of this event can provide serious coverage of all the games.
Maybe the organizers are planning to make this a PPV event.
Pay Per View! Brilliant!
USCF needs to take a note or two down from this idea…
