Natalia Pogonina vs. Irina Krush at WMSG Irina Krush has earned her final GM norm and has also netted 19 rating points at Baku Open (2645 performance), making her #16 in the world on the women's live chess ratings. Hence, she is expected to become the 30th woman in the history of the game to earn the GM title and the second US female player to achieve that feat (after Susan Polgar; besides, Susan has earned her GM title while representing Hungary). Irina's results at Baku Open'13: Our warm congratulations! Be first to comment this article

By GM Arkadij Naiditsch, #1 German chess player, FIDE 2710 Photo by Fred Lucas We are in the 3rd game of the match. Ushenina lost the first one with White and made an easy draw in the second one with Black. So it is clearly time to "push" for her in case she wants to come back into the match. Comments (1)
