Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Hi there Susan and Paul,
Any other news from this challenge? Any GM accepted? Can we see one game?
Thanks and have fun!
Beco.
Hillarious!!
Susan,
Will you accept the challenge?
hwo funny it should be the other way round thou, but real life is that computgers finally have outbeaten the human race.
jb. have u read any fictional novels lately, read the ones written many decades ago, then youll understand,
But thou ,the comp is severely cripled. Susan Polgar is strong (and clever!) grandmaster.
I would consider Susan favourite in such game.
Besides she is woman ,and I was told Rybka has also feminine soul.
Only GM woman can do comp woman 🙂
Not like some patzer Ehlvest for sure.
Any update on this? Did the games take place?
