[@doone8849]

I don't get it

[@sanjaysivanandham]

@@doone8849 Judit is the greatest female chess player of all time so she's considered as the Queen of chess. Topalov obviously saw the mate in 2 but instead decided to 'capture' the white Queen thereby winning -against- THE Queen (of chess).

Rf1 instead of checkmate in 2 is like bullying

[@stoutlager6325]

It's resigns anyway. Doesn't matter.

[@rohan1864]

@@stoutlager6325 yeah but it feels like there's some extra familiar spite in it xd it's something I'd do if I felt my opponent was dragging their attack on unreasonably, dismissing the fact that they couldn't afford it anymore, overestimating their position and underestimating my skill. I'd bully them by dragging the game as well and taking all of their pieces slowly instead ending it quick.

Go Judit!

[@strooomon]

As much as I love to watch Judit's games, I enjoy even more, when she does analysis for tournaments

Yes. I found Qf1 straight away. You can over think it. Just see the one right move. Ignorance is bliss in chess.

@@Chrisgr33 Yes.

[@juangalton999]

​@nicbentulan I myself respect Gary for a lot of his accomplishments and his political integrity. However, that was definitely a horrible thing he did and I lost some respect for him for doing that.

[@nicbentulan]

@@juangalton999 thanks. Do you side w/ axis of evil ( Carissa x Wesley Bobby Hans Sergey Vlad Nepo ) over allies of evil ( Magnus Garry Atousa x Hikaru Daniil Veselin Liren ), considering no one in the axis of evil ever cheated or baselessly accused anyone or discriminated or committed treason at least inside chess & as adults (never mind below 18yo or in politics lol) ? i guess garry is bad in chess but good in politics - the opposite of bobby good in chess but bad in politics. perfectly balanced as all things should be

[@LevusPelus]

Just out of curiosity, when you say "completely new game" for these past games, does it mean completely new at that point in time?

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

Yes. I believe, in one video I watched, Agadmator has said that this is what he means when he says this. Good question.

[@rahowherox1177]

That's what completely new means in any context.

[@juangalton999]

Completely new game, as in hasn't been played for a long time. Some of these positions certainly exist at lower levels, but aren't always reached by Grand Masters.

I didn´t found the winning move, but stil happy that i would have played the same move that Judit did 😊

[@jonathancauley5345]

He wasn’t going after the queen. More rather, he was telling her “I want you as my queen” 😂

Great played by Polgar. Draw should have no place in chess

[@BillHimmel]

Topalov didn‘t make it to World Championship, but nonetheless deserves to be remembered by chess history! Same with Judith!

[@CharlesOffdensen]

He did make it. He was a FIDE world champion and played the unification match. Which he lost due to "toilette gate".

[@HgHg-yp6ft]

Do you ever bother to at least google before make such bold statements? He got a title and also to enrich a bit your knowledge about the most overlooked great player on all popular chess channels this one included he reached 2800+ rating as well.

[@jackreacher8324]

It was a great game except maybe for the ending, It was a bit disrespectful from Topalov to not go for the checkmate,

[@nishusaif6085]

1st!

[@svetozarlekovic4987]

Veselin wanted to tell her something by jeopardizing her Queen instead of mating her right away. Chess theorists should consider the use of term ,,Veselin's foreplay" after this.

[@nicbentulan]

PLEASE agad it's been 4 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner! Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. It's Hikaru's WIFE vs Wesley's GIRLFRIEND. #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc

But Qf1 was such an easy move to spot.... I'm 1300 n can still spot that within seconds.... don't know how she being a super GM couldn't...

She must have thought she could get away with Qd3. I would have tried Qf1...Qd3 looks too risky to me.

2nd: Hans Niemann = next Bobby Fischer - Wesley So = current Bobby Fischer - Bobby Fischer's ghost = old Bobby Fischer - Beth Harmon = Bobby Fischer in another universe Each of these 4 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American'. Speaking of Wesley So Hikaru's (the rapid WFRCC) wife almost beat Wesley So's (the classical WFRCC) girlfriend! 2023 USCC - Indeed Carissa Yip won and thanked Wesley So as her secret second in the 2023 USCC closing ceremony speech. But in Carissa vs Atousa, Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. move 54 for black is an 8-move equality puzzle it's so sharp [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "1Q5k/3r1rn1/p3N3/Pp1p2P1/1q2p3/1B2R2P/5P2/6K1 b"] 1...

It would have been imasculating for Topalov to lose against a woman. Having said that he didn’t so everything should be fine 👍👍👍

Except that Polgar has defeated him in the following year (and with Black) in the second round of the Dortmund Chess Meeting, so that's unfortunate for him, I guess?
