14.01.2012 – The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elisabeth hosted the 2011 South African Junior Chess Championship, in which an impressive 1800+ youths participated. Efforts such as this have led to South Africa's first WGM, Melissa Greeff. To help promote chess there, Susan Polgar was invited to provide a simul as well as give a seminar on "Women in Chess". A pictorial report. read more (and see pics):

 | | Check It Out: Hello GM Susan Polgar, I was recently reading your profile and in it you said, <The only World Chess Champion in history (male or female) to win the triple-crown (Blitz, Rapid and Classical World Championships)> http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/201... But hasn't Vishy Anand done the same? In his Wiki profile it says, <Anand is the only player to have won the world chess championships in many formats including Tournament, Match, Rapid, Blitz, and Knockout chess.>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viswan... Thank you in advance for clarification. |

| | Susan Polgar: Vishy won the classical world championship in different formats (match, knockout, and tournament). I won 3 different world championships (classical, blitz, and rapid). Both are hard to accomplish. Winning the classical, blitz, and rapid is like winning the marathon, 100 meter dash, and 5K run. Very difficult. |
|

| | Check It Out: Thank you. It turns out Vishy won the rapid world championships (2003)but never won the blitz world championship. Wikipedia's entry is wrong, go figure. Maybe our resident wiki editors <FSR> or <TheFocus> can fix it. Aronian is closest on your heels having won both the rapid world championships (2009)and blitz world championships (2010). Your record is safe for now! |

 | | waustad: I'd like to mention that I enjoy your blog, but would like to mention one problem. I think I posted this there too, but this time I know it will get through. It would be a big help if more context were added to your posts. Very often I read something and have no clue where you are talking about. A recent one mentioned two places that start with "oak". I drink at the "Oak Room" and my dermatologist works for "Oak View ..." but I have no clue about the places you mentioned. A country, state or city reference might help. |

| | waustad: By the way, how did Texas become a big chess hotbed? Do I remember correctly that Ken Smith and maybe the IM Larry Evans were from there? This is from a long time ago and details are decidely lacking. A few years ago I started hearing about Texas Tech and then noticed UTD when Alejandro Ramirez went there. I noticed since I spend a lot of time in Costa Rica. Will Lexington be another hotbed with Gregory Kaidanov? In many ways the world changed when the wall came down. |
