Today soccer and chess met in Claudia's life as she asked to be informed about the Gold Cup Final between the United States and Mexico in New York City. After the opening ceremony of the Susan Polgar Invitational 2009, she realized that she would be facing Natalia Lopez of Vermont.
To start out with we had never met a chessplayer from Vermont before and were not aware of the state of chess in that state; however, Natalia had qualified to be in this tournament so the final instructions was not to take things for granted.
After two hours and forty minutes, Claudia won her first round game in the Susan Polgar Invitational 2009.
