By AbedAbby Marshall made U.S. chess history yesterday as she won the DENKER TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS in Indianapolis. In a field of competitors where 47 were male, Abby narrowed the gap, even if slightly, between girls and boys chess.
I was reading both the CHESS LIFE ONLINE as well as GM Susan Polgar's blog and it is safe to assume that besides God, the credit is entirely Abby's. Along they way she surely met people as well as tournaments that contributed to her success; however, the attention must be focused on the drive and will power she displayed through six rounds.
As a father and coach of young girl, the example set by Abby inspires us to work harder.
Enclosed in this link are the final standings of the DENKER TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS.
