Re: Media comments on chess
There was an interview with Judit Polgar on the BBC News channel at about 18.23 and, doubtless, at other points during the day.
I will leave you to guess the subject of the interview.

This is currently no. 2 in the 'most watched' section of the BBC News website

Are chess.com's servers always restarted on Friday a.m. ?
For the second week in a row chess.com's servers were restarted at 11 o'clock today (Friday) which is obviously some time during the night in the USA (I am assuming that it's an American site).

Re: Media comments on chess
Quote from the BBC Sport website, 25 minutes into the Aston Villa v Derby County play-off final:

Chess in Armenia from the BBC website
There is an interesting feature about chess in Armenia on the BBC website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-43084816 I was in a bit of a quandary when I saw the feature and thought it should be flagged in this forum. The 'Media comments' thread is its natural home but it could have got lost there, ...
