Judit Polgar's FREAKISH Attack vs the French Winawer

[@matheuscontas]

Many thanks for bringing more Judit! So many fantastic games.

[@ChessNetwork]

Glad you like them! 👍

[@xevy3493]

I would like to see a game analyzed, where the black side wins during French defense, because it never seems to happen for some reason.

[@WenceslausDerErste]

Its simply a bad opening.

[@ChessNetwork]

🤔😎

[@irfanyamashita7184]

French is tricky opening actually

[@lb9817]

Ding Liren had a great game as black against Gata Kamsky in the french. Enjoy

Kasparov - Ivanchuk

[@MrSupernova111]

Brilliant game! I've been looking for an answer to the French Defense and the Winawer is one of the variations that I'm most interested in. This game was very educational. Thanks Jerry!

[@ChessNetwork]

[@ronj9448]

Hi, the answer is to not play into it if you don't like it. The lines can be long. Look at the tarrasch french and how Karpov played it in the 70s and going forward.

[@gbu32]

Fantastic play by Judit. Thank you for sharing that game. You make it so clear with your going over every combination.

[@michaelf8221]

Fischer: "The Winawer is antipositional and weakens the kingside." Polgar: "Noted."

[@deadbeefmonster]

Polgar always impressed/impresses me with her just bold and solid attacking. It reminds me of Tal and Kasparov. No fear, just go for the throat. And does it so well it's like they see it coming but are helpless to stop it.

[@TruthSurge]

6:47 "This doesn't have a name..." GOOD! I like to call it.... a rook move.

[@matiasg1234]

Excellent game by Judit, please upload more of this Judit´s saga. Take care, bye!

[@PeterWhite-q1k]

Wow, just, wow! I am a huge Judit Polgar fan and have never heard or viewed this game. Judit was like a surgeon doing delicate eye surgery in this game. And kudos to you Jerry, you made this a tutorial for the ages. Her Rg1 blew me away which you explaine to (chef's kiss)! Thank you again!

[@arcaylan]

Thank you for sharing!

[@deadbeefmonster]

Heck yeah! -- As a side note, you going over all these games makes me miss the times when I used to do that. At least today I don't have to do it from random library books :P

[@chesspunk489]

It's so much easier these days to just watch a youtube video.

[@deadbeefmonster]

@@chesspunk489 true, can you imagine having this video resources (for free) as a kid where chess masters break down games for you, and they also stream their own successes and losses. It's so entertaining and educational at the same time.... Now we just need you, Jerry, to do another Marathon tournament for 12+ hours! haha

[@robertcooper1952]

Jerry is an excellent analyst, and he has a soothing voice.

[@stevenorth1564]

Thanks!

[@ChessNetwork]

Appreciate the $5 Steve. Happy Holidays to you too!

[@stevenorth1564]

Thanks for a great year of instruction Jerry. Happy Holidays. I sent a little present your way.

[@fluxrider7027]

I really enjoyed and learned from your numerous side notes. Thank you.

[@MateCheck1]

More Judit’s games plss

[@LazloHo]

My favorite move in this game was Rag1. My instinct, even when pressing an attack, is to resolve whatever counter my opponent is pressing, assuming I've planned properly for it, and then continue when they have to concede the tempo back. I'd have resolved d4 somehow, just out of habit. You take my defended my pawn? I take back. This is such an illustrative lesson, though, and the reason I seek out Judit's games over many others. Her attacking instincts are so good! It's good to be reminded that you don't have to care about any material imbalance if your destination is checkmate. Forget the pawn? Give your opponent all the pawns they want if you are ending the game in a few more moves.

[@ChessNetwork]

Glad you enjoyed it, and well said. 👍

[@jacobgecht3232]

Great vid

[@TheMarksT]

Very impressive attact, at 14!

[@dupito-7588]

Great game

[@OurayTheOwl]

In response to the line where black moves pawn to c4 to kick bishop, why not just ignore the bishop threat and go knight g5. Mate threat with Qh7, black defends with pawn h6. White forks queen on e6 and black falls apart from there. The actual move in the game, black knight to b6, avoided all of that and is a much better move than just eyeing c4.

[@timothymcaleer6480]

Those rook moves at the end made for such a clean finish

[@MoonBurn13]

The Tale of the Tape tells it all.

[@othmarihartwig2011]

15:32 funny!

[@NabiParKoodaPhenkneWaliBudhiya]

You keep moving the pieces and draw blue lines and then retract the pieces and then move again and draw blue lines then retract again and this goes on and on and on and I am now really confused as to what the heck is going on.

[@ChessNetwork]

I show variations. A phrase to listen for is “in the game, (move X) was played”, or similar. Shortly after these words a variation is about to be shown. There’s a learning curve with these videos to be sure. You may find the PGN of the featured game, included in the description, to be helpful.

[@NabiParKoodaPhenkneWaliBudhiya]

@@ChessNetwork What is PGN? 🤔

[@Chewy_GarageBandDad]

That queen you’re talking about, the people I play would have played G7. I try to play principles chess like this but at my elo and the typical time that I play, I get mostly Indonesian and players from India and literally every single one tries to attack right away. Sad part of they succeed half the time. It happens to be when I play principled instead of reacting. I hate it.

[@stevenorth1564]

Study openings more perhaps? I also did a Chessable course called "survive and thrive" which is all about making us do with everybody hates, defend. But really helped my game for what it's worth. I hate it when people disrespect 500 years of chess history and play garbage, but it's called garbage for a reason. When you lose to a bad opening, analyze it learn it make sure it doesn't happen again. My two cents.

[@Chewy_GarageBandDad]

@@stevenorth1564 Thank you for taking the time and responding. Truly the most precious gift one can give another. Some of their time. So, I appreciate your 2 cents. Tonight I moved away from 10 min game and went to 30 min game so I could slow down... So, these players, they are persistent, they will lurk around and wait for you to screw up. I have to not chase them down when I defend correctly, remember where they are lurking so I don't move an important piece that is blocking them and most importantly remember ever variation that is being played today. Nothing worse than standing by and developing the pieces that you can while their queen is decimating one side of your back rank... Worse, you bust your but and take their queen....these B's immediately quit. I will look into that book. Oh, I pay for review so I do both review and analysis. And I utilize all the other tools. I'm trying desperately to get away from these players.

[@Chewy_GarageBandDad]

@@stevenorth1564I thanked you for your time as it’s the most precious gift one can give another and you tube took it down. I said nothing out of order. Wow.

[@owencurtis4172]

It’s true, according to this channel, 1.e6 is already lost

[@ronj9448]

You mean 1. ... e6. ? I don't think so. I'm only a club player (1800) and I do very well against players of similar levels. Some think it is an instant win until it isn't. Some think it is a positional win until they find inaccuracies. Try it as black and have fun!

The Ginger Freak tracked the break. There was only one and it had to be. You R breaking thus U know the file needs a soldier. When breaktime arrives back row bad boys bench warming be done. Move your rook to the break that U r making to take command of the soon to B open file. Don't be shy when there is only one break available.

[@davidantonsavage6207]

Black totally deserved to lose. He played two pieces down the whole friggin game. His queen-side bishop and rook ended the game where they started. And personally I never like the idea of my queen on the other side of the board far away from my king esp when my opponent has their queen on my king's side. Yet again black has proven the old axiom DEVELOPMENT B4 ALL ELSE !!!

Hi

First.............

[@ChessNetwork]

You’re fast! 🥇

[@aaronhteikk4487]

Much better to show the completed game first and then replay with analysis. As it is the game is interrupted with the presenter showing how good he is, and the game Is interrupted. We then go forward, backward a few times , then forward and then again interrupted with lots of hypotheticals. We have no idea of how the game was actually played. So the presentation is not how brilliant Polgar was in this game, but how clever the presenter is.

Chess Network is my favourite chess channel because of: Thorough walkthroughs of many alternate lines; Excellent explanation behind the motive and plans for certain moves and ways of play; Pop-quizzes; Manages to cater his explanations to both novices & advanced players at the same time; Calm and pleasant tone and narration; No tangents about what he did on the weekend or what happened on his Twitch stream last night; And the Tale-of-the-Tape. 👍 🩷
