Corus 2008 4th Round Results

Hola darlings! Results from Round 4 and femme standings after R4:

Corus "A":
Gelfand, Boris - Polgar, Judit 0-1 (6th place with 2.5)

Corus "B":
Short, Nigel D - Koneru, Humpy ½-½ (13th place with 1.0)
Hou Yifan - Stellwagen, DaniĆ«l ½-½ (11th place with 1.5)

Corus "C":
Van der Wiel, John - Peng Zhaoqin ½-½ (11th with 1.0)
Krush, Irina - Grivas, Efstratios 0-1 (12th with 1.0)
Ushenina, Anna - Nijboer, Friso 0-1 (13th with 0.5)


Good heavens! I just saw this photo of Judit Polgar from R3. What IS that thing she's wearing? Looks like something out of a bad Russian melodrama. FUR BALLS? For Goddess sake! I saw the photo at The Week in Chess, who said it came from Chessvibes.com. Checked out Chessvibe's coverage - extensive - take a look - and lots of photos too.

I think Judit must win Chess Fashion Faux Pas of the Month for that fur-whatever-it-is (whether faux fur or not; although if it is faux fur, that somehow makes it even worse, because it's not even expensive!)

On the other hand, Judit looks tres chic and tres sleek in this photo from Chessvibes, giving the press conference today after her VICTORY with the black pieces against Boris Gelfand. YAAAAAAYYYYY!
