I want a Russian Men's Superfinal 'handsome' contest. Pleeeeeeeeeeease.
ReplyDeleteListen, no need for contest, I have already picked Peter Svidler as the winner.
ReplyDeleteIt's just too cold in Moscow. We need some chess girls to warm up the action at the Superfinal. Maybe from next time they should hold the two tournaments side by side.
ReplyDeleteHas Morozevich retired from chess?
ReplyDeleteHope Svidler does a Galliamova
ReplyDeleteSvidler the Suave.
