There are countless other super GMs and GMs competing in the team championship. Here are the line ups: http://euroclub2007.tsf.org.tr/component/option,com_turnuva/task,show/dosya,2/Itemid,2/lang,tr/
Susan: This is great! I always enjoy playing over the games of these GM’s. Do you think or what would it take for U.S. Chess to get a team event such as this here?
Go Gata and Chuky!
It takes proper marketing and promotion of chess and professional players, something the USCF has very interest to do.
I have tried since I was elected but we spent more time on how to deal with trouble makers on the USCF forums than finding sponsors for the US Championship or promoting chess.
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar
I hope you are able to overcome this obstacle and bring top player events to USA!
What about Kramnik and Topalov? Why don’t they play in the ECC as well?
