Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
A complete thrashing of the old guys.
The Veterans – they are all young at heart – were outclassed rating-wise. The Youngsters should feel embarrassed that they lost even one round – Round 9 – four draws and a win by Ljubomir Ljubojevic.
Congratulations to GM Wang on his fantastic performance,and to all the participants for giving us some interesting games.
