Hope Efimenko can win the last game.
If I were Nigel Short I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for my tie. Recently I won a competition here, selected a tie from the Paul Truong Tie Collection; the one that reads;- “I love chess, its chess politicians which make me gag” – but it never arrived!
I think this competitions are rigged!
