    When I found out that Judit Polgar wouldn't play women's only chess tournaments I immediately respected her like no other player. She doesn't care about gender, she just wants to play the strongest players... and beat them.

      One of the Polgars was criticised that it was easier to play men and so they gave all the women extra rating, so out of principle she played a woman's tournament and won it just to make a point. Judit just attacks for the sake of it! No reverse gears...

      Make it clear when you say she beat these players. Cuz I can play someone 10000 games and win only one game then say I beat them without mentioning how many I lost and people will think I am the better player. She didn't beat any of them in the overall score.

She is absolutely, unequivocally, without a doubt the strongest female chess player in history. She is the only woman in the 1300 year history of the game to ever become a super grandmaster and compete exclusively on equal footing with men. What she was able to accomplish is without parallel. There is simply no one with which to compare her. Judit Polgar is easily the greatest female competitor of all time.

    Take notes people. Judit is understating her achievements out of modesty, but you must make no mistake: Judit Polgar changed the entire world of chess. Before her it was widely believed that women were, by nature, unable to compete with the best men. When she qualified for the Candidates Tournament (8-player tournament to determine the challenger for the world champion) the rules didn't formally allow for a woman to participate - simply because nobody had even considered that it could be possible. Judit had been playing mesmerizing, imaginative, BEAUTIFUL chess and everybody in the chess world wanted to see her play - *so they changed the rules for her*. She shattered the glass ceiling of chess and proved beyond any doubt that women CAN compete with (and beat) the best men in the world. Never believe people when they say you can't do something because of your gender, your age, your nationality or anything else. It takes work, of course, determination and perseverance, but you can do it. Judit worked like hell, played like a thunderstorm and faced all competition without fear, tearing down barriers and changing the world around her to allow her light to shine through the clouds. You can do anything you really put your mind to.

And after I replayed some games from grandmasters, I was particularly impressed by Polgar's playing style and began admiring her for it. There would be men like Kasparov who would be better on overall record, but it was Judit Polgar's style that did it for me. When I replayed some of her games from books back then, I was like: "Wow! This woman plays chess like our Dutch national team plays soccer! So full of initiative, so agressively, so offensively and directly going for the target. I wish she had become the overall world champion, but she already enchanted people with her style.

    When i was Young i played chess at a semicompetitive level, went a couple of times to the regional Championship, got invited once to the national. I was really small, like comically small and i would often play against people much bigger than me, even if they were my age. What's funny IS that chess shows a lot about your personality and especially how you overcome obstacles, how you deal with situations. I was very agressive on the board, often going with an Evans gambit a quite fun oppening which most of the times develops into cutthroat games. I found out the same as she said, one way of dealing in chess with an intimidating adversary IS to press It as much as you can, push and punish. As i got older however i learned the other side of the Coin, play safe, strong, mantain the advantage and win a discrete victory. Chess taught me so much things, It taught me patience, persistance, resilience, the weight of consequence and time control. It's maybe the most personal Game in the world, the way you can express yourself on the board IS simply INCREADIBLE

    This is a true feminist that I can respect: Instead of complaining about being discriminated for her gender. she honors her ambition with real devotion and focus, and produces real value - and proves herself to be even better than her male detractor.
    What is even more amazing (which she does not share here) - is that she did not become world champion not because she failed or gave up. It was (as I read somewhere) because she made a conscious choice to start a family and raise her children, and that would not allow her the highly demanding regime that playing chess on that level requires.

      She was 28 (2004) when she reduced her commitment to chess.

Before that was Kasparov and after was Carlsen--both of whom became world champions in their early twenties.

Now of course these defeats don’t take anything away from those magnificent players, a Chess career is obviously more that just a measure of one or two games, but it does raise an interesting philosophical question. What is the true measure of a Champion? Is it struggling everyday, moving forward inches at a time, until one finally reaches the mountain top, or is it being surrounded on all sides facing down any and every challenge no matter how daunting with courage, grit, and sheer willpower?

      Yes. Ofcourse.
      1)Advance Central Power Distribution Tactic-
      Let us take any chess distribution. For simplicity, we will keep a chess distribution which will make our calculations here. Let us assume, that white has 12 pieces. By 12 pieces,I mean; 12 pieces except the king. On white side. For simplicity,we will assume that all of those 12 pieces lie in 4 quadrants. 3 pieces for each quadrant. We are assuming 4 quadrants here,we can take any region as per our convenience. And the number of regions can vary as per our convenience too.
      Let us assume that in three quadrants, there are two pawns each. But in the fourth one there is one pawn. And one knight. Now, we will allot power to pieces according to any power convention which we prefer. As the "standard convention" is the most preffered, we will keep the "standard convention" as our power convention. According to this convention
      Pawn = 1 unit of power
      Bishop/Knight = 3 unit of power
      Rook = 5 unit of power
      Queen = 8 unit of power
      King = invaluable.
      So in our example, there would be 3 quadrants having 2 units of power. Each of them having 2 units of power. And the fourth quadrant having 4 units of power. So,this mathematical tool(Advanced Central Power Distribution Tatic);says that we have to consider only the pieces in the fourth quadrant. And assume that the pieces in the other 3 quadrants are not present. As this quadrant has the highest intensity of power. This mathematical tool,can be related to partial differentiation.
      The white will make his next move in the 4th quadrant. According to this tactic(mathematical tool).
      Hope it helps.

      1)We will assume that all of the pieces (considering both sides), are present. Except the kings and queens on both sides. And then analyze, the given chess position.
      2)Then we will assume that only the kings and queen are present. Of both sides. And then analyze the chess position.
      3)We will analyze the difference which we get. Between 1) and 2). And then we will assume that all the pieces are present. On both sides. And then do the analysis of the chess position.
      We will play our next chess move. After careful application of this mathematical tool. Hope it helps.

      53) Concept of probable potential- Pawns have the ability to move diagonally. Diagonally,one square. But only when the opponent's pieces are present. They take them out and then move diagonally, one square. I call this, the probable potential of the pawn. The opponent has to take into account, the probable position. He has to take into account, probable positions of all the pawns. Of all the opponent pawns. And also of his pawns. Hope it helps. To explain the tools which I developed, would take around 500 pages to explain. I just gave you the details of three. To give due respect for your kind request. nilaybarot22@gmail.com is my email Id.

      Area of Influence - 1 : All of those squares on which your pieces are there. Area of Influence 1, can be calculated for both sides.
      Area of Influence 3 - All of those squares, which are fully controlled by you. But on which your pieces are not there.
      Area of Influence - 4: All of those squares, which are jointly controlled. By both sides. But on which your pieces are not there.
      Area of Influence 5 : All of those squares which are fully controlled. Also on which your pieces are there.
      Area of Influence 6 : All of those squares which are jointly controlled. Jointly controlled by both sides. Also on which your pieces are there.
      Area of Influence 2 : Area of Influence 3 + Area of Influence 4 + Area of Influence 5 + Area of Influence 6 = Area of Influence 2. The greater the area of Influence 2, the greater you are control of the game. Actually, this mathematical tool needs further development.
      Empty squares - All of those squares, which do not belong to area of Influence 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 of both sides. Area of Influence 2,3,4,5 and 6 can be calculated separately for both the sides.
      Some of my mathematical tools are like statistical tools. They work good only in certain conditions.

    Why chess is difficult for average players?
    The total number of chess positions, are around 10^(120). Some estimates put it, to 10^(40) though. But still, even that's a very large number. The problem is
    1)the vastness of the number, of total chess positions.
    2)Add to that, the complications of chess positions.
    3)Calculating the best possible variation, makes it even more difficult.
    Let us discuss, only (1)here. Because even, this would make us feel a bit small.
    Average income an Indian earns - the numbers which we are regularly dealing with, are in the order of 10^(5) magnitude. Light Bill's(10^(3)), gas Bills(10^(3)), school and tuition fees (10^(5) or 10^(6)). Cars and vehicles, may go till 10^(6). Residential properties go up 10^(7). But not more than that.
    Even while we discuss those financial scams, they never go beyond 10^(12). Well, it is good here. That they actually don't go much further. Just joking. India's total government expenditure is in the order of 10^(14). Total value of world economy doesn't exceeds 10^(18)(not completely sure about this one, though).
    Distance traveled while traveling by international flights, never go beyond 10^(4)kilometers or 10^(7) metres(in magnitude). The memory storage capacity of good computers, is of around 10^(13) bits(of around 1000 G.B.). As we can, see. The inference, we get. After the good
    analysis, which we have done.
    Don't get demotivated chess players, though. Every one of you, is more or less at the same level. Hope it helps you. You will get motivated here, after getting demotivated.
    Well, that's all.

      Amazing achievement for her to become GM. Male dominated sport broke open. She is legend.

    There are more points on a one inch line segment than the number of all the possible chess positions to the power of the number of all atoms in the universe.

      There are exactly as many points on a one inch line segment as combinations for both are infinite, and both infinities exceed the finite number of atoms in the universe.

    I am a former KGB officer but I cannot play chess well enough to win an ordinary GM

    I wish that i played chess at early age. I played my first game at 15/16 and then never played and now i am 20 years old and it's been 3 months since i have been playing chess and i can see a lot of improvement in myself. I have played around 600 games in 3 month and i am loving it. The main part is the happiness when you are crushing your opponent and the sadness when they are winning.

    her games are more of an inspiration to anyone playing chess than dozens of super GMs playing "solid lines" and "correct moves". playing on the highest level and still is FUN to watch!
    oh and btw... kasparov DID touch that knight of course! :P
