Why doesn't she play this event anymore?

Donan

This year. She did play last year. Anand is also not going to be there this
year. Too bad on both counts. They really add to a tourney by there
participation. I infer from a Polgar interview that she feels that she needs
a break from big time chess. I haven't heard why Anand isn't going to be
there.

On the other hand, we will have Kasparov and Kramnic (rats! never can
remember if I spell his name right) and some others like Leko who give us
good chess to watch.

Oh, dear! "there" should be "their." Hope you-know-who doesn't see this.

It's `Kramnik'. I often find Google to be helpful when I can't remember
how to spell somebody's name.

Perhaps you don't remember her because she *didn't* play in Linares last
year. Sorry Wilma but you are wrong. The Linares 2003 player list is:
Kramnik, Leko, Kasparov, Anand, Ponomariov, Vallejo and Radjabov, ordered by
final classification in the tournament.

It should have been, Leko, Kramnik, ... as Leko was first in the tournament
because of his higher number of won games (4) than Kramnik (2), both with 7
points from 12 possible.

Really? huh. Wonder what I was thinking, besides Corus. Was it Dortmund?
Guess I'll go look. Thanks for the correction.
