Susan Polgar has again appeared on the cover of a major news publication, this time on New York Newsday. Her subject? How Blitz Chess can put chess on ESPN and on the public eye. A quote:
"In America, people want action," she said in her accented English. "And they want it now. But chess, if it's promoted in the right way, can be exciting."
Susan is currently the #1 ranked female player in the U.S., and is one of the top players in the world. Here thoughts on the likelyhood of chess being a TV sport are quite interesting. Check them out here.
