Happy International Women's Day || Judit Polgar - One of The Fiercest Attackers Ever

[@happypanda3951]

If I saw a Pawn forking my Queen and Rook, I'd have gotten a heart attack.

[@magnafire1]

Not when you are Judit. Lol she calculated many moves ahead and reasoned why he could never take the queen or rook. Amazing stuff to slip out and then the rook sac had to be even more amazing to have that level of craftiness.

[@giulionazzo88]

ahahah Same here. i would have never thought that I have a check mate at next move

[@mattparks747]

@@giulionazzo88 I would have been White, congratulating myself for forking my opponent's queen and rook with a pawn. A wonderful feeling that would have lasted for an entire move.

[@the_nephandi4551]

[@benjamindover7399]

That's the best part.

[@Linkfanoftheyear]

@@michalbotor Meh, there's a much simpler winning idea. Qc2 Kh3 leads to Qf5+ which forces a queen trade. Black being up a bishop should be completely winning. The engine wants to maximise it's advantage, but even a novice like me can find winning ideas in the position.

[@popodori]

in 1989 Judit was 13 years old, amazing

[@Rokasmic]

#suggestion I think it would be interesting if you covered the Sack Of Rome in 1989, where the young 14 year old Sofia Polgar went on a rampage proceeding to defeat multiple grandmasters and consequently winning the tournament. It shocked the chess world and according to the New In Chess magazine, her performance rating was an astounding 2879, one of the greatest consecutive performances of all time. Considered by many to be one of the greatest chess performance in history, it would be pretty interesting to see you cover it. While Sofia's sisters, Judit and Susan ultimately became better chess players, i think Sofia deserves more credit.

I’m over here like... “ok if the rook takes the bishop then the queen can take the rook but wait??”. And it was in this position that I realized I will never know to resign to a 13 move checkmate pattern.

[@williamgoss4691]

Judit Polgar’s attacking style of play and the really amazing out-of-left-field moves that she comes up with .... I was just thinking that Tal is about the only other player I’m familiar with who invents such complicating and devastating moves when that was exactly what Agadmator said .... as they say, Great Minds.. haha !! Another great game & great ' analysis, thanks.

[@toddf9321]

I just discovered your channel. As a Class B tournament player (prior to a stroke), I could have really used your insightfulness. Judit Polgar is a favorite of mine (All the Polgar sisters are an inspiration) and I miss seeing her play. Thank you for posting. I still play, but instead of tournaments, I play friendly games with a furniture shop owner I this handcrafted set on a handcrafted table with inlaid board. Magic.

[@dorindoncenco6568]

12:23 this checkmate pattern is called "The swallow's tail mate" which is a beautiful name Edit: ah shit my knowledge of chess is worse than my chess, it's actually the "Dovetail mate"

[@patrickquirk2727]

No it’s not, this is the “Dovetail”. The swallow’s tail has the Queen directly in front of the king and two pieces diagonally behind the king.

[@AgarioGameplays]

I find it wonderful that I was, for the first time, able to spot the winning move and the reason

[@winner2456]

The way I remember the 10:30 checkmate pattern is by remembering that the queen has the ability of the rook and bishop but not knight so if she is next to the king and the knight squares are covered it's checkmate.

[@hasmetgulkokan8588]

I love seeing different thinking styles of different chess players. She has a gorgeous one

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Not one, but two brilliant ideas by Judit: the first to allow the fork of her queen and rook, and the second with her Rd2 move. Amazing stuff!

[@Friek555]

It's women's day, every player is Judit Polgar

[@pozzowon]

Judit so good she plays both sides of the board

[@erinaa9486]

There is a very important point that should be made about this game. Greenfeld was 25 at the time of the game and one of the top 100 players in the world and Judit had only recently turned 13! (The picture of her on the screen may lead viewers to assume she was older). This was not Judit’s first time beating a top 100 player. Already at the age of 11, she beat GM Lev Gutman who was rated world #73 in the world that year. Not only was Judit beating top 100 players by the age of 13, she was already a top 100 player herself - a distinction she achieved at the age of 12 (when she was rated #55 in the world) - younger than anyone else in history. For comparison, Magnus Carlsen was 15 when he first entered the top 100, Karjakin (the youngest GM ever) was also 15 when he first entered the top 100, as were child prodigies Alireza Firouzja and Wei Yi. Kasparov was 16 when he entered the top 100 as were Kramnik and Fabiano Caruana. Shirov was 17. Anand did not break the top 100 until the age of 18, the same age Ivanchuk and Ding Liren were when they entered the top 100. Karpov was 19. Levon Aronian was 20 as were Boris Gelfand and Hou Yifan. Other celebrated child prodigies like Praggnanandhaa (age 15) and Nihal Sarin (age 17) have never broken the top 100. Korchnoi and Fischer were just joining their first chess clubs at the age of 12. (Akiba Rubinstein still didn’t know how to play chess). But Judit was already ranked #55 in the world at that age. Judit Polgar is not only the greatest ever female player, and one of the greatest attacking players ever, she was far and away the greatest 12 year old chess player ever. Happy International Women’s Day.

[@davidvizgan4491]

She is worthy of a proper "saga" more than most players (I still can't believe that the Morphy saga won that poll)... She grew up in a house that hosted Bobby Fischer for an extended period of time. When she became a grandmaster she was for a time the youngest grandmaster in history. She is the first and to this date only woman to reach 2700+ elo (super GM). Like Morphy her games are full of exciting tactics and unbelievable sacrifices. And for the sake of growing chess I think it would be nice for people to learn about the closest thing to Beth Harmon that the chess world has ever seen

[@Matthew-he3jw]

How? What was your thought process?

[@Nick-H-77]

I found it too. Thought process was at first purely to get the Queen to the first rank to win the Rook with a check and to see what was available next. The fact it pins the Knight with a double attack was just the sweetener that seals the move.

[@jonathan.palfrey]

I found it too. I'm not much of a player; but, in these situations, when we're warned to look for something, it makes sense to evaluate all the stupid moves that could be made in that position. Probably one of them isn't stupid after all. Like, "Hey, why don't I throw away my rook and see what happens?"
