Other than the picture of Susan Polgar kicking a football on the cover, there are only five pictures of Polgar inside the magazine and only 13 pages of the magazine are devoted to Polgar (not counting the letter to the editor, which is also about Polgar). Polgar is our only chess player we have and I cannot see why we do not have more pages in our magazine devoted to Polgar. At the February 20, 2006 board meeting in Parsippany NJ, Polgar promised to give chess lessons to the top young girl players and to give them Polgar chess jackets, in return for which she expected to receive several pages of free publicity in Chess Life. Are the ads for the Susan Polgar Foundation on page 62 and for the Polgar Chess Center on page 65 free ads, or did she pay for them? I realize that this month Susan Polgar won a weak woman's tournament in Dresden Germany held in connection with the Football World Cup, and that is why she is seen kicking a football on the cover. Only one other woman grandmaster was invited to that tournament, as the strongest women in the world, namely the Chinese, Georgian and Hungarian women, were all excluded because they did not have a team in the Football World Cup. And of course it must be just a complete coincidence that in every round Polgar was paired against the lowest rated possible opponent, and thereby she was given an easy route to the final. But how many have noticed that there is no mention at all of the qualifying round in which Polgar explains that she was "conserving energy". Did she lose a game? I have searched everywhere and her results in those rounds are not published. Why is that? Sam Sloan I am bringing this up to remind readers of this forum of how Polgar got elected by such a wide margin. Entire issues of Chess Life magazine were devoted to Polgar even though she was almost completely active as a chess player. It is all very pathetic. |
