		I honestly believe that Susan Polgar is an ambassador for the sport of chess and her efforts are sincere, but the promotional methods may be questioned.
		Susan happens to be the mother of two young boys, so I imagine that a healthy share of her venomous comments were coming from the "mommy" part of her as well.
		Of course Polgar (or Truong, on her behalf, or whatever) is a shameless self-promoter -- at least on par with the biggest braggarts of all (e.g., Kasparov), but usually with much less objective reason.
