[@suntzu6122]

Judit is a great teacher

[@VARMOT123]

Judit polgar turned out to be so normal unlike other top super gms .what a nice pleasant lady for a young prodigy to be around and learn

[@speeddemon2901]

I mean caruana levon anand anish are all "normal"... but yeah she is a very good with speaking out the thought process and the position in a game

wdym "normal" 😅

[@codetaku]

@@Yourlandlord.payrent No, if you say "one of the best" you just say players. If you say "she's the goat" you add female.

[@juliegahret5236]

@@Yourlandlord.payrent Wow…Misogyny much? You should at least know what your talking about before you open your mouth.

[@MaetsNori]

Judit is a legend. Though, much of what she explained here, Bodhana already knew. Incredible talent at 9 years old. She'll climb high!

[@uselesscrappyvideos]

Judit Polgar is just a phenomenon in chess. It is so heart-warming and pure to see her discussing moves with Bodhana Sivanandan as an equal, since she is an unstoppable force herself. The mutual respect is incredible and their brilliant minds almost appear to work as one.

[@suwako2976]

This is frankly adorable

[@joshg5657]

I could listen to Judit all day and be totally happy.

[@milordchess]

I already made my day seeing the queen of the chessboard. GM Judit Polgar teaching this young girl with a talent for chess. 🙄🤔👏

[@seasideman]

Bodhana has incredible understanding of the game for someone so young, and Judit is a great teacher. Lovely video, thank you.

[@Silvermist78]

What an honor to be coached by Judith!! That must be a life changing experience for that child. 💪👌

[@horizon6835]

Great video!! More such videos plz with GMs analyzing like this over the board!

[@MrFroggyfrogfrog]

I love that video format ! Very instructive and relatable. On the top of that Judit’s voice is so relaxing and her explanations very clear. Great video Thank you

[@Chesstrugles.roadtogm]

Sharing is caring :-) Judit truly cares! Love the keys facts at the end, thank you.

[@simongardner1835]

Shall we look back one day at this video featuring the two greatest female players of all time? It could be, but I hope not too much pressure is put on Bodhana by such expectations. Great video.

[@bottlerocket3218]

In 2024, people can practice their chess game by playing thousands and thousands of opponents online at literally any time of day, but back in the 1990s and earlier, you needed to actually find people to play against, ones who actually wanted to play chess, luckily for Judit, she had two sisters, and other family members, who also loved playing chess often, that was quite an advantage for improving your game before the internet.

[@sophiewang1025]

The Polgar sisters' father basically did everything he could to foster their passion for chess and improve their chess skills as a sort of experiment to show that "talent", as opposed to something a person is born with or isn't, can be acquired entirely through training.

[@donsurlylyte]

she immediately strikes me as such a good chess teacher

[@academicju]

Loved this video, d5 pawn break to transform the position to an easier conversion was very instructive. More videos like this please!

[@dicidicee]

One of my favourite personalities in chess!

[@oristernberg5640]

Great lesson. you need to have more video like this!!

[@Lingureact9z]

I felt like "Sachin met with Don Bradman ".😊❤❤

[@VARMOT123]

Hope judit or humpy coaches bodhana . Would live to see bodhana at the candidates with a female coach. Would be so cool

[@Randomlyme]

off course she is prodigy is and she is from south....proud for being a Southerner

[@tigerspaw]

Fantastic video. Please show more like this.

[@Mufasaa_45]

[@luissantiagocorreia]

Great analysis.

[@RachelLouAnnFranklin]

New Judit Polgar fan here!

[@gametime2473]

It's rare to have a player that was head and shoulders above everyone else in a category. Judit is the best female chess player of all time and it isn't even close.

[@pacovela1969]

Excellent teacher!!!

[@Serious-qk5lg]

I think Judit teaches well, while little Bodhana shows incredible intelligence, focus and playing skills for a 9-year-old. I just hope that she aims for something much more than women's world champion because such goals don't sound very encouraging.

[@Overlordsen]

A title that you of course won severel times with ease.

[@deadratjr]

​@@Overlordsen what this user is talking about is not selling yourself short. Many vary talented female chess players limit themselves by playing mostly woman's only chess. Where players like Ju Wenjun, Hou Yifan, Humpy Koneru, and the Muzychuk sisters have a strong sense of domination over the competition within there respective regions, only improving to stay above smaller competition. It's like settling for a silver or even a bronze trophy when you can go for gold or even higher. Judit Polgar sits as the only female chess player to accomplish a rating of over 2700 ELO for this very simple reason.

[@lessormore001]

As valuable as this advices are, it's lovely to see little Bodhana already know the vast majority of these things. Beating a strong 2400+ player at the age of 8 spells a bright future and her rating increase is reminiscent of Mishra or Faustino. She would have a chance to fight for Magnus' position, but she certainly has the predispositions to be a top open rating player, so let's hope she doesn't waste her potential in women's tournaments. Unfortunately, the organizers are now not making it any easier for women to be really good at the game with these equalized prizes. If only they wouldn't take away from her ambitions and if only she had it herself.

[@amirovsky2012]

The kid had a good lessons from the Queen .

[@ShubhamKumar-ex3nk]

Thank you Judit for spending time with her after all the racial attacks she faced I am sure it's means a lot to her and parents
