Why do you promote UTD and college chess so much? How come the USCF is not as efficient as you?
Hello Ms.Polgar.
On Saturday 24th. I went to Dallas to see the final four. I met some chess masters (GM Alejandro Ramirez for example).I am happy to see those kind of people humble like anyone else.They are stars but humble.
Congratulations to UTD, I saw their coach Rade Milovanovic at the begining of the round, looking for the opponents lines, making sure everything was ok, and then when the UTD chess team arrive to the hotel , they impressed me because they were wearing jackets with the University logo. That looked good, looked professional.
I think Chess is serius at UTD.
