Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Take ’em down Illinois! 4 guys who just got a coach who are rated an average of 200 points below the competition doing back to back final 4’s. They just got a coach in time to go to NY. Go Illini!
Don’t forget that Illinois doesn’t offer any chess scholarships either! These guys have done it all on their own…talk about an underdog.
