Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Topalov is King.
Topalov either wins in the 1st half or in the 2nd half. Strange goings on. I sure hope he does not beat Anand. Not good for chess.
Topalov is King of Kings. He is the only one who could beat Kasparov with easyness.
I need information how Kasparov became grandmaster?
“I need information how Kasparov became grandmaster?”
He did it like everybody else – by winning chess games.
Look at the pic. Topa is getting morse code vibrations from his tooth fillings!
