Featured is the sharp chess game between Jean-Luc Costa and 11-year-old prodigy Judit Polgar from the 1987 Biel Chess Tournament. The young Polgar, likely underrated at 2355, invites her opponent into a sharp Benoni, but Costa declines with 3.Nf3. As Costa's king knight drifts towards the queenside, watch how Polgar's quick coordination on one sensitive kingside square breaks White's position.

Polgar plays like there's no opponent. She simply crushes you.

Polgar was a menace as an attacker.

I used to watch your analysis videos 14(?) years ago. You didn’t have an intro back then and I enjoy all of it in glorious 360p. Your analysis quality didn’t drop off at all, here’s to 14 more years Jerry!

I love Judith polgar. She is one of the greatest players of all time, male or female, she's just incredible. Super ruthless attacking chess, my favorite. Reminds me a bit of some of my other favorites like tal, morphy, naka, shirov, etc.

You made the key point: when White's knight isn't on f3, the kingside is vulnerable.

Folks like Tal and Judit Polgar as these fierce fighter champions is just incredible to behold. Sure I like Karpov and Capa's style more, but nothing like a straight for the throat attack that works.

To be quite honest, I never realized that Judit Polgar is actually slightly younger than me. I remember thinking that she was slightly past her time clear back in the ICC days (watched her play a bit and give lessons on that platform). We would have both been still in our 20s back then. I'm not quite sure what made me think she was significantly older than that.

Jerry, it's "whom you would prefer to be." "Who" is subject, whom" is object. Who/he and whom/him. You would not say, "I prefer to be he [sic]". "Whom do you call? I call him." "Who called? He called." "Whom would you prefer to be? I'd prefer to be him." It's not pseudo-sophisticate, and you can say "whom" lightly, just slur it a bit if you're afraid to sound snobby, for being correct. Some try to be "sophisticated" and get it backwards, like "Talking about whom [sic] was mistaken."

@echoes6092 27 күн бұрын

"Who" has been common in place of "whom" for at least 100 years.
