Susan Polgar, 7 years older, once gave this commentary about Judit in one of her videos "One evening, I and Sofia were studying a particularly hard endgame with a trainer, a strong International Master. Unable to find the solution, we awoke Judit, who was asleep in bed and carried her into the training room. Still half asleep, Judit showed us how to solve the problem, after which we carried her back to bed" and according to Wikipedia, the following exchange, "At age 5, she defeated a family friend without looking at the board. After the game, the friend joked: "You are good at chess, but I'm a good cook." Judit replied: "Do you cook without looking at the stove?"
Of course she is the strongest female ever lived. No one comes even close. She was #1 for 20 years, and she made it to #7 among men. Who else made it to the top 100?
She sure looks older. Take a look at the ted talk with her, she has hit the wall hard, whereas Vishy looks more youthful now even if obviously if he's older then he's still older unless he goes out in a rocketship at nearly lightspeed or gets frozen or something.
Judit is awesome. She is a very aggressive player who is unafraid to sacrifice a piece (or sometimes even two pieces) to open up lines of attack. She has the self confidence to do this knowing she will be able to back it up, and has won many a game because of this. She also has the courage and the self-respect to stand up for herself when people are rude or unfair to her. God bless her- this amazing woman!
I recently tried to imitate Tal by sacrificing the way he did. My attack petered out and I lost. Are there any games showing Tal's attacks doing the same?
It stinks that a comment like yours, full of positivity and praise, comes across as patronizing. I guess it’s just a product of the times we live in. I do agree with you though.
@@pathutchison9866 I'm afraid that many people now look for reasons to feel offended. I daresay that whenever a man praises any woman for anything there are some people who will immediately accuse him of being patronising. I would praise my other great chess hero Alekhine to the same extent that I praise Judit, and nobody would say it was patronising. I'm afraid in these days of SJWs , virtue signalling is considered to be the norm. In fact a great many of my heroes are women. In music I love pianists like Martha Argerich and Yuja Wang and Valentina Lisitsa and several others. True, I appreciate Yuja's short skirts, but then I am a man so what can you expect!

When you have a career like Judit Polgar, the qualification of 'female' isn't necessary. She is in good company beside the greatest chess players ever, period.
It's a very subjective question, but here is my opinion. Without doubt, Judit is the strongest female player in history. Will another woman surpass her? Perhaps, but it will take a long time and a lot of achievements considering what Judit has already accomplished: * Polgar was the top rated female player for 26 years (1989-2015). * The only woman ever to make the Candidates tournament. * The only woman to have won games against 11 World Champions (including chess: Magnus Carlsen, Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Kramnik, Boris Spassky, Vasily Smyslov, Veselin Topalov, Viswanathan Anand, Ruslan Ponomariov, Alexander Khalifman, and Rustam Kasimdzhanov.) I can't recall any men that have defeated more than that number of world champions (but I haven't researched it); I think that covers every world champion from Spassky to Carlsen except Bobby Fischer. * The first woman (and one of very few) to break 2700 ELO. * She accomplished many of these achievements while being actively opposed by her country and it's chess federation. We may eventually see another woman that is technically stronger than than Polgar, but I am doubtful that we will ever see another woman so completely dominate women's chess spanning 4 decades the way that she did.
@@hinteregions no, the queens gambit is based on a true story, with beth harmon representing a real life person, if you mean beth harmon specifically then yes but not what she represents, which i think is more what danyal was trying to say
@@thenungod I think you'll find Beth Harmon is not a real person. "Tevis dreamed up Beth for his novel, so she's fictional. But, the author told The Times that she was meant to be a "tribute to brainy women," including his daughter, Julie, and his aunt who gave him his first chess set as a present when he was 7 years old. "I like Beth for her bravery and intelligence. In the past, many women have had to hide their brains, but not today," he said at the time." Fictional.
Polgar is an amazing attacking player, with strong results against other top players. Her wins against Anand, Topolov and even a win against Kasporov are a testament to her strength.
I am Hungarian, of course I agree :))) But no seriously she was a prodigy. Her parents trained her from a very young age, her dad wanted to prove the point that "Geniuses are made, not born" so he trained all three of his children to be chess players all three are chess masters, Susan and Sofia as well but Judit is exceptional among them.
She is not only the best female chess player so far, but she is also an outstanding chess commentator and interviewer... very insightful, charming, considerate. It's always a pleasure to hear her opinion and she's usually right.
Judit is the best female chess player of all time in my opinion. Even Fischer recognized her genius and loved to be around this talented girl (there are pictures of the two of them together).
Currently, yes, but players like Yifan are catching up. The new generation of female chess players after "The Queens Gambit"will be a force in the near future.
Thank you! What a beautiful game! It was played so perfectly by Judit! This just proves that the Sicilian against 1. e4 is not a guaranteed win. Awesome. I'm going back & watching this again later, to add it to my game collection! :D tavi.
Anand was somewhat older than Polgar when they played this game? I'm no mathematician, but I'm pretty sure he's still somewhat older than her now. The same amount older even! I know, it's crazy, right!?!
@@ASHISHKUMARDPSG I think if would be a fairly certain when you ACTUALLY read the initial comment, FOCUSING on the SECOND sentence. Do you reckon you can take if from there?
Yes she is. Many men and women, in the age of computers, are VERY well prepared - and natural talent and experience helps. But no female player has ever been more resourceful, original, creative, and strong at peak as Judith, the track record says it all. I credit her father for the early training.
Judit is without a doubt the best female chess player of all times. At her her peak she was even in the top 10 pf all chess players, which is amazing. It's also a joy the watch her games, I love her agressive, offensive style! Sacrificing pieces to have better attack lines is something I can't bring myself yo be she does it with such confidence bacause she can pull it off!
Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your lectures. Your stories about chess players add a lot to the vids. Btw: as someone who was born in Russia and grew up in the States, I can tell you your English is really good. Keep it up!
Judit is obvously the best female chess player of all time. Only 3 have ever been in the top 100 but while the other 2 weren't in the top 50, she was in the top 10. She's the only one who was an elite even by the men's standards. She was never the best but wasn't too far off, and her few post-retirement games reveal she's not as good as she used to be so she's not going to attain new heights now, but the bar she set already is far above any other female player. She might have been on par with Kasperov if she hadn't been screwed by him getting away with undoing his move, I think that broke her resolve and she ended up not ascending to the level she would have.
No, she's very far from that. This 8th place in the open (only once and for exactly one month) was the absolute pinnacle of her career. Most of the time she was in the top 40 chess players of her time, not to mention the best chess players in history.
The April 2017 FIDE rating list includes 1552 grandmasters, of which 1517 are male and 35 are female. He says: Judit Polgar is white and Anand is black. I agree. Good game selection though.
What nation are you from, Agad? Russia, Ukraine? Where? Are you in America now? We need to stage a "Agadmator" chess marathon weekend in Vegas!!!!! BRING IT! Invite all subscribers. Block off a large area in a classy hotel during slow season (Dec. 15-24). We'd be amazing!
His accent is actually pretty awesome. And it's much better to hear someone speaking with an accent (no matter how atrocious is might be) than to hear one of those robotic voices. I can't even watch those videos. Very nice work.
What's great about Judit is her attacking style. No other female has beaten so many world champions and gms. Fischer would not have given her odds of a Knight.!!
The Polgar sisters are a milestone of chess Champions, I guess their dad was a strong player too...first chess book I bought was by the Polgar family...
Of course Judit is the greatest female player, when another woman breaks the world top ten then she has competition. As for the idea of the best "female" chess player, this is no more offensive than asking who the greatest British player of all time was. It's unfortunate that women don't seem to take as much of an interest in chess compared to men, it's also unfortunate that Britain does not have as much of an interest as Hungary. Hungary have a richer chess history than Britain, and men have a richer history than women. It's neither sexism nor xenophobia, it's just culture.
i met Susan Polgar she was the head chess coach of the university a couple blocks away from my house, Webster University. she came in for a local chess tournament for kids at the middle school there and i happened to be volunteering with some other people on my team as refs. She absolutely wasted my highschool's board one on our lunch break (not that he put up much of a fight from her standard). definitely one of the coolest chess experiences i've had!
I still don't understand why even in chess they follow a male and female distinction. How does it matter, there's no biological advantage in chess of being male.
Unrelated Fun fact: the chess pieces have different appellations in different languages. For example, in Bengali -- Queen -> Minister (not the religious kind; counselor to the king) Rook -> Boat Bishop -> Elephant Knight -> Horse (King and Pawn are the same.) (Similar in other Indian languages. In some, Bishop is Camel and Rook is Elephant.) Knight is called Horse almost everywhere in the world. Elephant for Bishop is also very common. www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/1rrxz4/how_are_chess_pieces_named_in_your_language/
No doubt that Judit is the best female player and one of the greatest chess players!! I support gender separation in ALL sports. Barriers are being broken in open chess tournaments all the time. Thanks for the great chess videos. Love your dog crashing in on your videos!
the more popular chess becomes with women, the more female top elo players appear. that teaches that the potential is there and separation is a bad idea
It appears (to my untrained eye) that Polger played like a super strong engine from the very start. That Anand was able to perform so well in such conditions is a great credit to him.
Greatest female ever? Probably, but I'd be more comfortable with a discussion of her tactics rather than her gender. Fact is, she's one of the best attacking players to ever sit at a chess board. Based on the results of this tournament, it doesn't look like attacking all the time works out in terms of ratings, but in terms of entertaining chess, it's top drawer stuff.
Great game, and Judit is probably the greatest woman player since she has beaten most of the great men's GM and has done well in open chess tournaments
Lot of comments on the "Anand was 6 years older than her" and they all have the same dumb take as to laugh at the statement and point out he is still 6 years older seemingly saying that is insignificant. Relative age is very important. For instance, a 35 year old world chess champion playing a 41 year old world chess champion has a distinct advantage. This is obvious. It's also extremely relevant given Judit beat 11 world chess champions from Spassky to Carlson. Beating them way after their prime or before they got there is relevant. Acting like agadmator didn't make a valid point and is being sexist or ageist is extremely disrespectful and highlights your own stupidity.
4:43 Rf8 to Re8 making escape square for the king and simultaneously pinning the bishop. How can black continue. After thinking a while the black can continue Rg1 takes bg7 forcing black king to take the rook. Else, the black king moves to Kf8, then rg7 to rg8 check making black king either to take the rook or move to Ke7. Thereby unpinning the black bishop. Else if the king captured the rook, then Qg3 check followed by Be5 captured white queen.
It is TRUE that she is best and it is TRUE that she is female. So what's wrong with joining the two phrases and saying that she's the best FEMALE player?
I saw this quote of her "I always say that women should have the self-confidence that they are as good as male players, but only if they are willing to work and take it seriously as much as male players." The "but only if" part is key here. You don't get "as good as men" if you're not crazy level dedicated. You don't get there by wishing it very hard and assuming you're entitled to. Oh and even if you are dedicated, you will most likely fail. Losers outnumber winners infinitely.
Coz in world of sports two separate competitions are set, one for males and other for females! In all sporting events there r two distinct categories! No doubt she is the best among women chess players! Ego shouldn't be hurt when the fact is stated. It's like Venus Williams playing Roggy in tennis!?
*Ituti X Noti.* Because there is such thing as Men's Chess Tournaments and Female Chess Tournaments. Get over it. He simply called her the way she is, a female chess player. Nothing wrong about that.
Polgar definitely was the best female grandmaster and still is this far. Yifan has a chance to pass her at some point but we shall see if that ever happens or not.

It appears (to my untrained eye) that Polger played like a super strong engine from the very start. That Anand was able to perform so well in such conditions is a great credit to him.
Very enjoyable game and analysis. Thank you!
Anand didn't expect his knight not to be captured. This is a different level positional game
1st to watch.Always awaiting for your videos.
Greatest female ever? Probably, but I'd be more comfortable with a discussion of her tactics rather than her gender. Fact is, she's one of the best attacking players to ever sit at a chess board. Based on the results of this tournament, it doesn't look like attacking all the time works out in terms of ratings, but in terms of entertaining chess, it's top drawer stuff.
She always opened with e4, I believe. I think she beat almost all men but maybe not Kasparov.
dry5555 she has beaten Kasporov. You should check out the game it's a beauty.

Why do you say "her" tactics? I would feel more comfortable if you didn't refer to the white player's gender at all.
beating a player once doesn't make a player stronger
you should look at their games
bowrudder , youre just a dumbass cretin, i piss and shit on Your politc correctness and Comfort zone as such hehehe
Great game, and Judit is probably the greatest woman player since she has beaten most of the great men's GM and has done well in open chess tournaments
such an awesome player judith.. i think queens gambit tv show is based on her
we all see games where people have lost or won.
But rarely any game is uploaded where Judit is crushed.
I misunderstood the title thinking that she had a crush on Anand!!!
Any girl will have crush on 5-times world champion
Anand wanted a early hand shake with Judit.
And here I'am who thought she had a crush on him 😂😂
He needed his coffee on this day
That quote from Fischer is probably one he would hate to read out loud if he were alive lol
Of course I think she is the only female really famous chess player.
What makes this channel so great is that sweet Russian accent.
Strašno! Anand je gubio kao dete pred navalom belih figura.
I don't know if she's the best female ever, but she's honestly the only one I've ever heard about and respected.
That Fischer quote's ironic after you hear him say how much he hates chess now
He also says "I'm dead now, since 2008."
Lot of comments on the "Anand was 6 years older than her" and they all have the same dumb take as to laugh at the statement and point out he is still 6 years older seemingly saying that is insignificant. Relative age is very important. For instance, a 35 year old world chess champion playing a 41 year old world chess champion has a distinct advantage. This is obvious. It's also extremely relevant given Judit beat 11 world chess champions from Spassky to Carlson. Beating them way after their prime or before they got there is relevant. Acting like agadmator didn't make a valid point and is being sexist or ageist is extremely disrespectful and highlights your own stupidity.
Without a doubt Judit Polgar is definitely the strongest female chess player of all time!
4:43 Rf8 to Re8 making escape square for the king and simultaneously pinning the bishop. How can black continue. After thinking a while the black can continue Rg1 takes bg7 forcing black king to take the rook. Else, the black king moves to Kf8, then rg7 to rg8 check making black king either to take the rook or move to Ke7. Thereby unpinning the black bishop. Else if the king captured the rook, then Qg3 check followed by Be5 captured white queen.
What do u think of queens gambit series. How realistic is it
Your dog at 5:39 was so cute.
The dog is too old now so he doesn't move around a lot anymore
judit's attack moves are so beautiful, she was born a true attacker
This Video's Thumbnail is totally different in what the actual game is shown in this video.!
It is TRUE that she is best and it is TRUE that she is female. So what's wrong with joining the two phrases and saying that she's the best FEMALE player?
I saw this quote of her "I always say that women should have the self-confidence that they are as good as male players, but only if they are willing to work and take it seriously as much as male players."
The "but only if" part is key here. You don't get "as good as men" if you're not crazy level dedicated. You don't get there by wishing it very hard and assuming you're entitled to. Oh and even if you are dedicated, you will most likely fail. Losers outnumber winners infinitely.
JUDITH POLGAR IS THE BEST CHESS PLAYER EVER IN FAMALE CLASS ,AND ONA OF THE BEST CHESS PLAYERS EVER =IN MALE CLASS EITHER =EVEN TOP 5 !!!
Coz in world of sports two separate competitions are set, one for males and other for females! In all sporting events there r two distinct categories! No doubt she is the best among women chess players! Ego shouldn't be hurt when the fact is stated. It's like Venus Williams playing Roggy in tennis!?
notice how her face is on the thumbnail as a clickbait, and never in the video.
*Ituti X Noti.* Because there is such thing as Men's Chess Tournaments and Female Chess Tournaments. Get over it.
He simply called her the way she is, a female chess player. Nothing wrong about that.
You get a good sense of her strength and playing style.
Such a fun game! She seems awesome.
She played such hot moves, that the chessboard caught on fire !
Mann, that moves that lead to pinning both of rooks was awesome. 👏
Polgar definitely was the best female grandmaster and still is this far. Yifan has a chance to pass her at some point but we shall see if that ever happens or not.
She was probably the strongest IM ever because at 12 she was already ranked 55th in the world.
Really admire Judit Polgar. Such brilliancy. Relentless attack.
There's something Vishy about this...
I like that game. They both play kamikaze style. Better than watching positional game lasting for ever.
yay comment war
ATMunn haha yeah half the entertainment is down here lol
That was a **HMMH** great game by Polgar
Thank God he stopped doing that throat clearing
It’s really hard to judge who is the best ever because of the advent of engines. Today’s players have a huge advantage in that way.
Agadmator i also play on lichess and want to play a game with you which time you play on lichess
+Nav Sidhu I will stream tomorrow at 16:00, hope you can join us :)
Which time zone?
I love the style of Judit Polgar. Not so defensive like Karpow.
Polgar won the majority of her speed games against Fischer, who stayed with the family, or visited, when he was on the lam.
