@Dario Greggio yes but chess is not like other sports, Chess doesn't divide into male and female Chess divides into "worldwide" and "female" If you're a woman, you can play with big guys if you are really good like judit was.

Once she got him on the ropes she went for the jugular. Great game.

I felt bad for the black king stumbling around in midfield like that.

[@thescribe509]

In comments: Bb7 loses to Bxb5+, king can't move and you can't throw anything in the way that doesn't get taken by a supporting piece. Nb7 loses the same way. Nd7 is the only move that satisfactorily blocks the checkmate on d8 whilst simultaneously preventing Bxb5 to come with check. Bd7 can defend the d8 square and block the Bxb5+, but it drops the a8 rook to the queen with check.
