@@anindianhomosapien7189 How is that even relevant given that you are comparing her to players in the 99th percentile -- relative to all current active chess players, her loss ratio would be considered low. Additionally, you are comparing her to players of the current generation, which have a lot more accessible and efficient technology at their aid to develop and maintain accurate gameplay.
USNVA i loved the commentators, really simple enough to follow the game but complex enough to understand the position and the threats which says a lot about these guys since it is after all a blitz match and you gotta see everything and relay to the viewers in real time. well done all in all beautiful game comments and the video!
One of the most impressive finishes I have ever watched. Judit has a funny way of "losing" a piece and then exposing the opponent for some unseen weakness. Ron did superb to maintain his won pawn and continuing the position.
I see a huge difference in opening with these grand masters when compared to the grand masters of today in a blitz. These players are not afraid to begin their attack early in the game
I met this guy for the first time last time...an incredible chess player who is not intimidating, teaches by going through games as if it's a mere conversation...I look forward to learning more from this great chess player. He's a 2500 and trained Karpov I think!
Amazing. What a finale! It's like watching a cross between two human supercomputers and thoroughbred race horses just giving it everything they've got!
@@medexamtoolscom The trick was that his hair was thick enough that it looked like it could be half an inch longer (meaning half an inch less headspace) when, in reality, it was actually a buzzcut.
This must have taken place in 1992 or 93. The commentators were VERY good; give them credit for letting us feel the dramatic battle that was taking place. Had you seen this video with muted audio you wouldn't have felt the drama, and maybe wouldn't have even known why there was so much tension.
+Zoilo Maximo Hey Nostradamus, that must have taken place 17th november 1992, because it's written in first seconds of the video :D I fully agree though, TV was once a wonderfull educationnal tool, it became a McDonald.
Chess has come so far since this game was played in 1992! Strong engines have led to great developments in opening theory (as well as excessive draws) and online chess led to accessibility for many millions of people especially after the pandemic. Its a different world for chess in 2021 than when this game took place!
Impressions regarding touching pieces outside of proper move etiquette? I've never noticed someone retouching their pieces and even touching the opponent's pieces as Ron does here. A great game, no doubt, just made me want to change things seeing him touching pieces after touching the clock to start Judit's move. Anyway, I'm a huge fan of Polgar's and if Ron Henley has a great life I will be happy.
haha yea Ron used way too much time in the opening but ended up in a better position and managed to pull out a last-second win. --> common trade-offs in blitz. thanks for watching @Jimpanx
He went from 1700- to expert after that. I was really surprised that he was that good. Ask Jeff Babcock who was the best player at the Houston chess club back in the mid 70s.
+Randy Bailin Yeah, that was pretty funny. Although, learning to play the black side of the Pirc WILL improve your game if only from desperate self-defense.
Do you mind making an analysis on the Grand Prix Opening? I couldn't find any good videos regarding the basics of the Grand Prix attack Thanks Will :P
"watch the best players in the world go for the kill." "trying to blow your head off in every game." "he likes to slowly squeeze his opponents to death." "wage heavy battles, attacking one another, trying to pull each other's throats out." "she's known for ripping kings off; I mean just killing you; coming straight at you and trying to destroy you." lulz.
MMA commentators: Fedor punched him in style of triple check.......now, his opponent is bleeding as he would stay without two rooks in endgame because of knight sacrifice...........Fedor gave last direct shots like mighty bishops pair who attacked king under the castle :D
She had to reach across her chest to tap the clock. He didn't. He might have lost on time if he had to reach across like she did. Also, he used two hands several times. That ain't kosher either.
Well done, sir Ron! The first year I played chess was 1972 in Bobby Fischer mania, and you were Texas Jr. Champion at Reagan HS. I actually drew you in a game and missed the win. You then destroyed me at the City HS Championship Final, but my school won the title anyway. My chess career went kaput after that when a 10 yo Bill Reuter beat me, lol! Never saw the board the same after that.
5:55 -- .....Re3 looks interesting. NxRe3 Qh4+; Kg1 Re8; Rf3 RxNe3; RxRe3 (black is now down a rook and the exchange) Qg3, winning back at least a rook, and threatening mate. Qe2 seems best for white, and now .....BxRe3+; Kf1 Qxf4+; Ke1 and black has two pawns for the exchange, a safe king, and a far more active game where it's not clear how white is going to get his rook into the game. That's about as far ahead as I can see this variation, but it looks good for black and white still has two very loose pawns, on g2 and d5.
I was under the impression that [even in speed chess] you must move and hit the clock with the same hand. If that is so, then Henley broke the rules didn't he? Or was that an optical illusion?
haha i guess we didn´t realize that. my webmaster and i are both from atlanta - sometimes we let a few goofy sayings slip out. sorry to let you down on this one!
Happy retirement Judit. You inspire all of us with brilliant and bold gmaes. You were the Queen of Chess and you always will be.
swewunna Yes, a living legend of chess
swewunna She has never won the women's title.
Yes, She didn't want to play women's tournaments.

This is definitely the most exciting chess video I've ever seen, and the atmosphere is so joyful, really made my evening :) Keep up the good work!
i like this much more then commentators who just constantly predict possibilities
the commentator is Maurice Ashley. He isn't bad. But yeah this game is certainly better without side board and commentators showing their own lines.
Yep!
This is called analysis not prediction , You patzer !.
Judit has been an incredibly classy player all though her career, and even here, in one of her rare losses, we see the graciousness of a champion and a lady.

Best commentator - Maurice Ashley
such an intense game and both of them smiling and chatting in the end. very warm.

Judit Polgar has a beautiful smile!

MAURICE HAD HAIR?!
It looks like his head was smaller back then, like normal sized. Maybe it swelled as he got older, because his head is freakin' huge now man.
Imagine that. I assumed he was bald all his life.
@@medexamtoolscom The trick was that his hair was thick enough that it looked like it could be half an inch longer (meaning half an inch less headspace) when, in reality, it was actually a buzzcut.

Great commentary and an incredibly instructive/exciting game!

BRO WHEN THEY SAID MAURICE ASHLEY
Ron is the man for keeping such composure against such a vicious cutie like Polgar. Props to GM Henley on this one.
This is how I wanna watch chess! Best commentary ever
Phewww... That was suspenseful, to say the least. Heck of a game.
yeah I enjoyed seeing them at the end of the game conversing friendly :)
Waw I can't recognise Maurice Hashey! He was someone else back in the day.
This must be one of the best blitz game ive ever seen.Thanks for the upload!
yea, it will be out this week.

A nail-biter. Great upload!
incredible finish from henley, i was sure he was cutting it too fine but he pulled it off
Judit Polgár is great!!She is a legendary chess player.
Definitely an intense match at the end. Very interesting how that played out.
"Style: slashing attacker" lol
Awesome player, indeed!
haha yea Ron used way too much time in the opening but ended up in a better position and managed to pull out a last-second win. --> common trade-offs in blitz. thanks for watching @Jimpanx
I thought I had seen all the chess videos of this era. Thanks for a GREAT surprise!!
This was a great game by ron wiith the black pieces against a very strong opponent.
Holy crap that was entertaining. Ron and Judith are both awesome.
That was amazing!
WHERE can you find the rest of this AMAZING tv show? "American Chess Challenge" should be the flagship of netflix :)
YOOOOOO
Awesome ending, actually got excited watching chess lol
Henley used to play in the Houston Chess Club. He didn't get good until he learned the Pirc. He was a 1700 player back in the mid 70s.
+Forensource He went from 1700 to a GM because he learned the Pirc?

It may have been that he just put more effort into his game, but he did go up 400 rating points at least in a couple of years.
The commentary is beautiful, this belongs on TSN
Do you mind making an analysis on the Grand Prix Opening? I couldn't find any good videos regarding the basics of the Grand Prix attack
Thanks Will :P
Ron Henley pulled this one off. That's what they call learning from the masters.
Wow man, what a game.
thanks for watching dustin!
she is awesome at this :O
but damn that endgame was intense!
I'm a simple man, when I hear Maurice Ashley, I watch the whole video
Great video!! Go Ron!!
that was awesome tv needs shows like this
Maurice Ashley with hair was such a surprise in this vid lol
I have next to no chess-playing friends, but still, I'm definitely sharing this!
Henley is such a beast!
That was awesome.
Haha, what a wonderful video... That was immensely impressive. He took just about half a second/move in the last 5 seconds
Awesome video!
I've always said I would rather watch chess than baseball.
He looks like Charlie Sheen.
Or Sid the Sloth
Will you analyze some games of the Karpov-Seirawan match?,that would be awesome Will.
It depends on the GM. Some are aggressive attackers, others are positional players, and prefer calm games.
Holy shit that ending...
"watch the best players in the world go for the kill." "trying to blow your head off in every game." "he likes to slowly squeeze his opponents to death." "wage heavy battles, attacking one another, trying to pull each other's throats out." "she's known for ripping kings off; I mean just killing you; coming straight at you and trying to destroy you."

Chess isn’t a game, it’s a dirty fight.
GM Henley is a real tough guy.
That was some game, just how much time did he have left on the clock.
Henley WAS a beast!
brought a smile to my face at last :)
Great play by Ron
At 7:55, did black miss Rb4? 1...Rb4 threatening Bh4#, 2.Rf4(2. Rf2 Bh4+) Rxf4 3.Kxf4 Bg5+.
Edit: 2.h4 Bxh4+
Henley worked her at the end with those quick hands!
like it??!! I love it!!! Great coverage.
HOLY FUCK!!!! i held my breath for so long in those last moments!!!!!
wow i wish i could be like her.......
Great game by both
No digital clock in 1992?, when the digital clocks appeared in the chess scene?
I remember my first tournament, Wijk aan Zee 1995 with digital clocks
No, they play with a - then excellent - analog 5 min blitz clock. DGT started the digital era in 1994.
One of the commentators was Maurice Ashley, I think... he's very good
+JJ Sevins Yes! It's Maurice a bit younger... haha!
+JJ Sevins Isn't it him commentating ivanchuk's missed mate in one against anand ?
+Zorm Yep! It's him.
+Zorm Yes GM Ashley & GM Danny King.
GM Fedorowicz often does some great simuls on ICC which are broadcast in real time on youtube
She had to reach across her chest to tap the clock. He didn't. He might have lost on time if he had to reach across like she did. Also, he used two hands several times. That ain't kosher either.
Fantastic play. Judith made a mistake earlier on that caused the loss.
Man it turns out Ashley had hair back inte 90s.
really intense and interesting game
Good commentary although compared to what we have now it's a bit weird to hear them explain how a queen for a bishop is not a good exchange.
Well done, sir Ron! The first year I played chess was 1972 in Bobby Fischer mania, and you were Texas Jr. Champion at Reagan HS. I actually drew you in a game and missed the win. You then destroyed me at the City HS Championship Final, but my school won the title anyway. My chess career went kaput after that when a 10 yo Bill Reuter beat me, lol!

Carlsen got defeated by I think a 10-11 year old Indian player in a simul not so long ago. So, you're not alone!
O_O that ending
Exactly. Just like most other GM's who were brought up by a chess teacher for a father. No wonder you become good at it.
Very nice precision play. I love when those barbarian attackers got it handed to them in their own territory of experience.
in the beginning i thought judit was gonna win
That was a bonza,loved it!
7:08 Rh2 is that mate?
***** No. White can move Kg1
OnlineChessLessons.NET of course!
¿When they will play the rematch?
