Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
What happened to the self-proclaimed chess queen kosteniuk? She’s not even in the top 20? How is it possible? I thought she’s the greatest ever?
Whatever happens to Kosteniuk, whatever her destiny she will always be more than the utter NOTHING UPON THE EARTH you happen to be.
