Default Polgar Moving Back to Hungary - Is this an April Fools Joke?

It is posted on Susan Polgar's Official Blog too, so it does not seem
that it would be a hoax.

However, I still find it to be highly likely that this is an April
Fools Day joke.

We will find out tomorrow for sure.

Well, the announcement is still up at Chessville, *_and_* on
Polgar's own web-site. I detect no obvious attempt at humor or put-on
in either. Guess it's true, then.

Oops! Now she tells us it _was_ a joke.

Unfortunately, while Hungary is now free, it is still poor.

I still don't understand what is the funny thing in that "joke". Hungary has
many emigrants, and some of them are resettling back to here. Some of them
are greater genius than Susan. Do you think, if somebody leave the US, it
must be a fool's day joke?


Good point. What do other Hungarians feel about the fact that the
announcement by Zsuzsa Polgar that she was moving back to Hungary
turned out to be an April Fools Day Joke?

I am not a chess fan. The common people don't know what is the
difference between the Polgar girls, and which one lives where. Simply I am
at a loss to understand the humour.

As I've written earlier, there is none.
The humor value of this "joke" is exactly
ZERO.
