Survey Ends!

Hello there!

Our survey ended yesterday, July 31, 2008 and we had a number of respondents for our monthly poll. We asked the readers this simple question: What is your prediction of Magnus Carlsen's career? Out of 14 respondents, we had 5 who said "he will become the greatest chess player ever." then 4 predicts that "he will be a world champion within three years", while 3 thinks that Carlsen is an over rated player and 2 thinks that "he won't be a world champion at all but he will be a challenger for the world championship that's all".

We have conducted a new monthly poll and if you find the topic worthy of the symposium, please participate.

Thanks for participating people! Thanks!
