Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Go Judit!
Actually, at this point, I’d like to see Judit play in women’s events, if for no other reason than the current women players would have to raise their level of play…On the other hand, we’d get to see if the ELO differential is as valid as it appears.
Why should she play in women’s tournaments? To please you?
Yep….is there any other reason why I should follow someone’s chess career?
“Why should she play in women’s tournaments?”
Because she’s a woman, dumbo!
how about a top 15 women vs the top 15 men match up? Huh? No thanks!
What sexist pigs!
What about Judit Polgar vs Hikaru Nakamura? That’s an even match-up.
Go Hikaru! No woman can ever beat you!
