@Daniel

I read that article too…. Hmmm….. I find it really hard to understand that they have decided to quit the cooperation already. Exspecially after the great results he produced last year.

Somehow i suspect that the writer of the article must have gotten some statement wrong. Or else this should be pretty big news and posted elsewhere as well….

They do not separate men and women, they separate women and OPEN competition. Absolutely nothing is preventing women from participating in the open section, yet there is no woman who registered for open section! They all WANT to play in women section!

For God’s sake, when will organizers stop to separate men and women in chess?! It surely does not help them (women) to improve, and if it were for certain celebs that can take a lot of profit from this situation (Kosteniuk for instance), I bet it would have been already abolished. Polgar Sis’, please come back!

And do not reply that since chess wants to be a ’sport’, mixity is out of question : horse riding and team biathlon are nevertheless olympic sports.

(Sorry, I can help complaining about this situation).
