Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Carlsen and Hammer are the future of chess.
The picture us from “Kjeragbolten”.
You can stand on that stone, and see 1000 meter down right below you.
Kjeragbolten – nice picture!
Susan the descendants of Africa cant do well in the European Assizes events! Are we just a ONE TRICK PONY? oh, i forgot we dont exist.
Some norwegians thought that the Kjeragbolt was getting a little too ordinary and did their own version of going out on it. See the tough guys here:

The final top 10 standings has 23 players in it, it would have been simpler to have just given the top 9 standings in this case!
