Judit Polgar


Vrijdag duiken Ruud en ik voor 10 dagen onder in de schaakwereld. Judit is al in Wijk aan Zee en heeft al drie partijen gespeeld, zie www.coruschess.com
De website van Corus geeft:
The undisputed strongest woman in chess history hasn 't played in 2004. The semi surprise 2nd place finisher of Corus A 2003 is now a (not so) new mommy and has been quite busy enjoying motherhood. Her last event was a convincing victory at the Essent crown group at the end of 2003 (4/6 - a full point ahead of the rest of the field) proving for the umpteenth time that her 2700+ rating is no fluke. Her many fans around the world are hoping that the first lady of chess found time between nursing, kiddy literature and lullabies to also open and update her databases and keep up with current chess events! I don 't know if her comeback after a full year 's hiatus would allow her to repeat her spectacular showing from 2 years ago, but have no doubt that this tough customer will more than hold her own!
