Words of Wisdom by Susan Polgar

Here is Susan Polgar's blog about Wesley's Win against Gata kamsky and how he can sustain his winning streak!!!

Susan Polgar
: Wesley has done the hardest part by winning with Black. But don't expect Kamsky to roll over without a fight.

The strategy for Wesley now is:

1. Again, it is critical NOT to get into time pressure in the second game. This is especially important against Gata because he will complicate the position and without sufficient time, Wesley could make mistakes at crunch time.

2. Do not play openings which would give Gata dangerous counter play. There is no reason to take unnecessary risks.

3. Do not play passively. Gata is one of the best in grinding out closed positions.

4. Do not get over confident. Gata is very mentally tough and he is more than capable of making a comeback. The match is not over until it is final.
