The Polgar Blog covered the Lubbock Open this weekend in Lubbock, Texas.
No mention on her blog at all about the National Girls Championship
taking place in Dallas this weekend. Is Ms. Polgar too busy to note
another Texas event on her blog or is there a strained relationship
here. Inquiring minds would like to know.

Not true. The relations between the Susan Polgar Foundation and the
Kasparpov Chess Foundation are not strained. Not at all.

They are non-existent.

There has been a complete break in relations between them ever since
2006 when the Kasparov Chess Foundation decided not to hire Susan
Polgar to "train" the US Woman's Chess Olympiad Team.

This has been the case ever since the USCF Meeting in Florida where
the Kasparov Chess Foundation decided not to hire Susan.

Take a look at the many postings by Mr. Truong on this subject,
including the posting at:

"As long as the KCF is the sponsor of the women's team, Susan will
never play for the US in the Olympiad again. That was what Beatriz
wanted and she got it. This is the result of an illegal deal that was
made by your beloved Beatriz and the KCF. Susan will not have her name
linked to either of them. Don't worry Eric, everyone will know what
your friend has done. As long as I am in chess, I will expose dirty
chess politicians. That is a promise. Time for a new day in chess."
