Good morning everyone!

The biggest game of the tournament is today as two out of the three co-leaders will be going at it head to head. Vladimir Potkin, playing as white, will be facing Judit Polgar, who, after having her second child, is back kand seems to be more aggressive than ever and be the first woman to become European Champion?
