Judit Polgar's Best Game: J Polgar vs Anand

[@orbanvityu]

Polgar is genius. Historical achievement - not only this, her whole career. Thank you Judit.

[@jancivianci3028]

Vityu Orban too bad she is unknown in her home country.

[@peterbago4574]

This is just not true. I mean she is well known in Hungary.

[@jancivianci3028]

***** so far 0 of 5 knew the name. 😕

[@peterbago4574]

I think it is not a disregard for her but for chess in general in Hungary. And this is kind of a chess nation:) Also you picked your 5 people very unfortunately.

[@albarnes5713]

Judit Polgar is one of my most appreciated GM's. The massive book her father put together illustrates her genius.

[@clairedemorgan5695]

Judit was by far, the strongest women ever to play chess. I love her attacking style in the spirit of Morphy and Tal

[@trainloverrishi3190]

mato you make it so easy for us to understand . These great moves are not so easily understood by amateurs like us but you simplify things and impart great knowledge to us. Thanks for the good work .

[@ThePapasmurf1946]

In chess, player can use pin, also fork, also discovered attack, also diversion, also sacrifice, and zugzwang can result. Judit uses all of these in this one game. Flashing swords, like Ninja chess player. p.s. Anand was on his way to becoming world champion in the year following this game. Wonderful game, commentary excellent. Thanks Mato.

[@Smileater]

Great comment. It's very nice when a man acknowledge a Woman's genius, specially in a game/sport that's been dominated by men since it began.

[@Smileater]

Also great you're one of the few that doesn't conmpare Judit Polgar's genius to anyone else's

[@jackcarter3944]

Damn, Polgar was just insane in the opening.

[@Smileater]

Creatively INSANE

[@ethioittutorial6005]

Judit my favorite! Love you so much

[@SurfinScientist]

Thanks for posting this video. There are not too many videos on Judit Polgar's games unfortunately. This is a very nice game!

[@bobbylight111]

Phenomenal game, perfect blend of tactical vision and positional logic. Awesome commentary

[@vioreldumitrache3880]

It takes great creativity, off the grid intelligence , to play such games, always on the edge...Bravo, Judith!

[@preussenuberalles1682]

I did enjoy this video, Mato, thanks for commenting it so clearly. Judith played like a champion.

[@mustafabahaj9832]

Congrats on the 100k subscribers, your channel deserve so many more. Love from Yemen. Keep it up. Thanks

[@Callybags99]

Truly excellent commentary: I was with you all the way. You asked (and answered) exactly the questions that were on my mind. Many thanks, Mato!

[@JoseSalazar-vs8zw]

What a woman! Her games and M Tal's. are beautiful.Keep enjoying M comments the same way I do.

[@7Lukibi99Tore7]

***** If Paul Morphy were playing professional chess today at the peak of his ability and if he was given the opportunity to study and learn what computers have discovered about opening theory and if given the chance to study in detail modern grandmaster games, Morphy would probably defeat Magnus Carlsen in a chess match whether the format be a 24 game match or a match in which the winner has to win 10 games, draws not counting. It would of course be a very close, compelling match between them. Morphy, of course, never turned pro as a chess player because his mother asked him to never play chess for money.

[@jainpaigemilan4215]

Utterly riveting; and, I am absolutely astounded. What a game. Thank you for showing the other possibilities; which, could have made this something of a real opportunity, which, seems to have been missed by Anand. My word! Thank you for showing this; I am so very grateful. I am merely learning; and, what a thing! whoa!!!!

[@orbanvityu]

Thanks Mato for your postings. Invaluable, entertaining and enlightening.

[@aleksandarmarkovic9608]

Odlični klipovi, kratki, jasni, a sviđa mi se i naglasak!

[@toma7248]

Really liked this video! I always found this game exciting, but couldn't fathom what was going on in Judit and Vishy's mind at times. You helped clear up a few of those questions, and it made it even more exciting to follow through! Thanks! :)

[@naaveenmahadeshwar7889]

Huge fan 🙏Respect from India.

[@danno1800]

Thanks, Mato -- a very wonderful game and you explained it very well!

[@Josho4096]

Excellent commentary. I remember reading this game back in the 99 in a magazine called "Gambito", its a Spanish chess magazine, the analysis was off the walls. This game is one fo the reasons people call chess an art form!

[@afzal5851]

beauty with brain my favourite Judit Polgar only excellence can describe her.

[@freshdugi]

A truly beautiful game. Wonderful analysis. Thanks for sharing.

[@drutgat2]

Hi Mato. Many thanks for posting this. It was very interesting.

[@shachannel100]

"In this position, Anand resigned." This is a very interesting statement by Mato. Thank you for uploading this game.

[@namelessnomad4872]

Hi, Mato, your videos are very entertaining and have been of great help to me. I thank you for them. Greetings and appreciation from Somalia.

[@portavoz12]

Excellent uploads thanks for your great videos

[@dcan876]

Anand n Judith' s chess and ur commentary ....excellent

[@JoseSalazar-vs8zw]

I really enjoy your comments.This game is is great.The Keres attack is for aggressive players like she is, and I have been a fan of all the Polgar sisters specially Judy.

[@juancarlosl4133]

Me too. Greetings.

Me too, greetings from Peru

[@lorymiharu]

God damn, it was indeed one of the best games I've ever seen. This was pure madness!

[@Smileater]

Polgar is a killer machine

[@hyoyeonsblondehair4315]

Polgar is brilliant, one of the very bests

[@madmax797]

Judit is an inspiration to all girls.. imagine doing this growing up at a time when women's brain was considered not suitable for chess.. I like this video title .. I dislike where people put title like - Judit crushes Anand.. thats disrespectful.. they are all world class Grandmasters.. and in fact V. Anand has a 16-4 head to head record vs Judit.

[@miloszforman6270]

_"Judit is an inspiration to all girls"_ Don't think she is. Girls still don't like chess in their vast majority. That is not because boys don't like them to play chess, but because the brain of most girls is not suitable for this kind of game. There are exceptions, but only very few.

[@ilmaio]

And who ever said "women's brain is not suitable for chess?" It's just less women play chess than men. Even in early times, talented women played against men, and sometimes win. It was never forbidden. A WGM would slaughter a common good male player, nobody can deny it, it's evident. There is nothing wrong in women's brain about chess. Enough with absurd feminist victimism.

[@goyonman9655]

This is NOT true People had a higher opinion of women's brains then than now Stop lying

[@jasonm950]

Complety agree! A positional masterpiece.

[@Smileater]

Yes, to sacrifice to minor pieces against a World Champion GM you HAVE TO BE A POSITIONAL GENIUS

[@snickercracks]

Stunning. She's amazing.

[@xanbex8324]

Thank you for your efforts in presentation!

[@MatoJelic]

Thank you for your comment

[@frothfrenzy]

Mato, your videos are amazing. They are just the right length and are perfectly analyzed. In my opinion you're horribly undersubscribed, and definitely deserve more viewers. Salutations from your father's homeland. Živio :)

[@stephenarmiger8343]

Thank you for this analysis!

[@uwu_888]

Thank you for providing the prediction moves too. I really need it to know the reason why and what could possibly happen.

[@tommonk7651]

Wow! What a game!

[@michaelchesny656]

Thank you for this lesson.

[@uchihadante77]

This line is correct,this is all theory until the move 17 or 18 i think.The opening is Sicilian defense,Najdorf/Scheveniguen Keres attack,specifically until the move 10 we enter into another line(which is what im talking about)called The Perenyi attack or The Perenyi gambit.Shirov and Polgar had a very exciting game on this line in 1994 i think but in that game she had the black pieces and ended in a draw.Shirov had an awesome victory aganist Topalov with this line in 2001 and he won.

[@mizofan]

Judit was important in Mato's career :)

[@sukadukaku]

Out of the box move by Polgar , Amazing !!

[@johnharris8393]

good game thank you Mato.i feel uneasy making a call being so far down the ladder.

[@archdiocesereception6945]

WOW AMAZING game by Judit !!!!

[@Sh0tgun285]

such a risky lines from both players, just amazing

[@kevinmalone3210]

Brilliant game by Polgar.

One of my favorites!

[@madhug1788]

I heard Judith polgar name and saw few brilliant games but I never saw her beautiful she is!

[@aldrinmayen]

@frothfrenzy I cannot agree more! I have learned alot from Mato's videos!

[@Guillermo19548]

Anand and Polgar together vs Anand's King.

[@YoungGirlz8463]

sweet castlez bruh

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

It doesn't make sense why Anand would leave his knight hanging after he was already up two pieces. He then subjects his queen to a pin once white castles, then castles himself and puts his own king in another pin! You castle to protect your king, not endanger him further. He didn't have any real mate threats on white either, so he should've just retained his material advantage and tightened up his play. I'm not sure what tactical strategy he had in mind here. His light colored bishop remains undeveloped and he wastes more moves shifting his king around, meanwhile white continues to develop and create threats. It wasn't outright blunders that did Anand in, but fundamental errors.

[@renangivenu125]

Good explanation, do some more videos. See you.

[@ernestalba2284]

Lots of surprising invention on the part of Judith. Hard to believe a human being could be so much more brilliant than the average person.

[@MrTurkishgambit]

waaaow one of the most beautiful game I have ever seen, J.polgar is very forceful attacker.

[@somchess9869]

I liked this too! It is very entertaining and pretty witty!

O boy ..O boy ! Anand is still the world no 1 i chess till now , Judith the Tigress appreciated alot the taste his spicy indian human flesh . She loved him !

[@MatoJelic]

Right

[@jagdishmkumar3835]

Wonderful explanation

[@yggdrasil9039]

Incredible game.

[@CrazyWatcher670]

She doesn’t play on board, she play with mind of opponent. Nasty ( in a good way).

[@hadrougali494]

This is the best game for judit polgar

[@DennisSObenza1965]

Amazing game indeed 👍

[@rfgust]

this move is available, but the bishop would be unprotected and the knight on f6 too (he has one defender one attacker, we can consider unprotected), so, a move like Qf3 would get at least one piece back

[@calidude146]

brilliant chess game. i have a lot more respect for mrs. polgar after watching this.

[@IdoruFalls]

why did you ever have lesser respect for her

[@wgb75]

Judith Polgar, a Gorgeous chess genius... 😍

[@anubhavgoel9302]

this is exceptional...

[@yeralmanuelgonzalezrugama354]

hi mato thanh you for yours videos .i wish i could watch you to narrate one video in spanish

[@chessmagz]

what is your rating? nice commentary love your vidios

[@markbutler6788]

Anand castled directly into Polgar's attack...oops

[@Ophiuchus123456789]

+Mark Butler Anand lso regularly stuck his Queen in line with other threatening pieces. Judit is an amazing player but Anand was being silly in this game. He was doing things I would know better not to do and I'm not a very good player.

[@gideonmoyo1037]

he was under estimating her

[@Smileater]

@@Ophiuchus123456789 Polgar would kick you chessy ass anytime, eyes closed. Anand castled because that xay he could have had a chance. Judit was smarter and more offensive

[@Smileater]

@@gideonmoyo1037 x2 Judit is a killer. She's one of the few GM to have beaten all top contemporary GM champions

[@antonfernando8409]

Awesome, simple, well explained.

[@blorgfest5597]

"Judit has no reverse gear" you are a genuinely funny guy! If there was an award for humanizing chess you would Grandmaster Jelic!!

[@Crazeyfor67]

Why didn't Anand try to save his knight when he had a chance? Or did he have a chance? Thanks as always,

[@balintattilafarkas8282]

look at the position at 4:59: it's black to move... what do you think about queen takes on f4 check, and exchanging queens. After the queens are off the board, black is better in my opinion (one piece up, king can be defended more easily)... So what do you think of this option?

[@BarlasSk]

hi qxf4 either loses the game or the queen because of White dark squared bishop on c3 and pawn on e5 is pinned for good

[@balintattilafarkas8282]

oh i see now, you're right

[@yggdrasil9039]

Because after Black plays Qxf4, then QxQ pxQ, BxB+ Kg8, Bf6 mate

[@joeymurdazalotmore6355]

Bravo, gg great narration

what an excellent game !

[@MrHowe95]

Odlicno!!!

[@MrBrosan989]

I personally like to watch Fischer and Michail Tal. They games just so much more interesting. The surprise attacks from nothing. Those two are simply unbelievable

[@RebornNation2011]

mato would this variation work? QG6, QxE4, pH5. and maybe that will leave room from the king to escape. the bishop would hold down the f8 and h8

[@sankaranmohan7541]

Women Power... Well done Judit Polger... Proud of you...

[@patrickscully9387]

Beautiful and talanted

[@slipppry]

Fischer stayed at Polgar's residence for some time. Mato, do you think Bobby had much influence on the game of the girls/women?

[@JimKalpa-qd9zr]

Red Peter she was a good tournament player then, but after the Fisher stay she transformed literally overnight into a sensation. You put two and two together.

[@richardbeer7283]

after white Rook to D6 (4:55) why does Anand not take the pawn on E4 with check and a forced exchange of the Queens?

[@anubhavgoel9302]

this is stunning chess... i wud hv played more or less like anand,,, worth it :)

[@pkwow3858]

what is the right one is it Rcc5 or R8c5?

[@IaKhanic]

Did Polgar have a visit from Tal's Ghost? Also Im no expert, but why would Anand castle in to the attack?

[@BillyWayneMcCann]

Judit has no reverse gear. LOL. Is that a key factor in attacking chess, in your opinion, Mato? I'd like to learn more principles in attacking chess. I'm more of a conservative, defensive player, but I feel I need to learn when attack is called for and how to go about it. Any advice.

[@shahabshaikh9307]

I have some querries 1) y he castled king side? 2)5.12 y didnt he captured pawn on f4 with queen??

[@Smileater]

1) it was the beat move. Gave him opportunities to hope for Judit to make a mistake 2) Judit moved her bishop to avoid changing queens

[@Smileater]

And at 5:12, if Anand takes pwan on F4, then they change queens, and after black pawn takes white queen, white bishop takes Black bishop on g7

[@thedreamerbakoure7157]
