Quit the simping

[@snelleplanga3894]

I'm still a bit mad that they didn't include any of Polgar's games in the Queens Gambit. It's literally about a woman in chess, the perfect moment to reference some of her best games!

[@adcyuumi]

Polgar's ability to find an attack in positions, even quietly setting them up on purpose, is as close to Morphy as anyone has ever gotten. People gawk that she was "a woman holding her own in a man's domain; she even beat Kasparaov" -- but one day, I believe people will simply regard her as one of the best chess players to ever live. They won't go on about her being a woman. Her caliber won't be set by the metric of some other great player's name. People will just say Polgar, the way they say Tal or Karpov, without needing to say more. She has easily, easily, earned it.

In 1989, at the age of 14, Sofia Polgar stunned the chess world by her performance in a tournament in Rome, which became known as the "Sack of Rome". She won the tournament, which included several strong grandmasters, with a score of 8½ out of 9. Her performance rating according was 2879, one of the strongest performances in history. Her dad said she was the most talented of the three sisters but she had other interests and consequently didn't spend too many hours studying chess.

She was a monstrous attacker, every pawn and piece were meticulous and devastating

[@gregseewald2161]

Huge Judit Polgar fan.. Loved her attacking style.. She is one of the all-time chess greats.

[@aaronrohrer1563]

Judit's game against Anand in '99 was another masterpiece.

[@V0idFace]

Judit is probably my favorite chess player of all time.

[@herack5928]

this is what elizabeth harmon gameplay looks like IRL

[@AGT0M]

Funny, Judit Polgar beat Alexey Shirov with black pieces the same year in Madrid too, not to mention she beat him the second time with white pieces in the same Buenos Aires tournament.

[@shivangitripathi7931]

Dude I am just addicted to this series now...the way you explain and show these games is amazing(Levy OP ). These games, all of them are just crazy good. Thanks for showing these. Please continue this series. Also I request for Ivanchuk’s game in this series next😁😁😁

[@gaalhunor9726]

"Helló" I'm from hungary and We are so proud of her i just wanted to tell you guys She is an amazing chess player kepp up the good job Judit :D

[@Marlonbc90]

If you know about Judit Polgar achievements without being familiar with her games you already have reason enough to admire her. But if you know how beautiful and fierce her style of play is you will admire her even more. And she seems to be a very smart and very nice person on top of everything else, she is just a great person

[@adams4523]

loving this series levy!!!

[@nakodares5982]

These analyses are great content! I find it amazing to watch these old games of genius players which I otherwise would have barely come across, so thanks for making these. And your passion for them really carries through.

[@sunnyc8900]

Love the way you take us through these games. So insightful.

[@stevelaesch4163]

Judiit is amazing. Her play is mesmerizing. Agadmator featured Judit Polgar vs Ferenc Berkes, Budapest 2003. Her g4 on move 14 is sheer brilliance. Like a magician with a wand, with a single move she creates opportunities on the board that were impossible and frankly unthinkable until her hand moved. I'm looking forward to reviewing Polgar vs Viswanathan Anand Spain 1989. And she destroyed our G.O.A.T. Carlsen in a mere 19 moves in that lovely game in the park in Madrid, ,2022. She made it look easy.
