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.

"If to play like a girl meant anything in chess. It would mean relentless aggression". Kasparov.

She beat Anand, Carlsen, Karpov and had a very good game with Kasparov, She's not a regular champion, she is one of the best players ever

She beat 11 world champions, had multiple wins against Karpov, and was making Kasparov rage out of the tournament room. The one and only Queen of chess.

Just a note about the last sentence in the video video description. "Regarded" does not due Judit's talent justice. 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.

Guys, she is not an inspiration for women. She is an inspiration for both men and women. Judit OP.

It would be awesome if chess was taught in schools at an early age.

As a female chess player, Judit is my inspiration to improve and stick with chess. I admire her a lot!!

To play as aggressively as Polgar did against GMs, takes alot of guts and confidence.

Judit is not an incredible female chess player. She's an *incredible chess player*. Period.

Interestingly, I recall Judit saying her sister Sofia was actually the most talented of the Polgar sisters and she had that amazing tournament in Rome in 1989, but unfortunately she didn’t have the same passion for the game and “only” became an International Master.

She is one of the greatest reason why I'm proud to be a hungarian. She's amazing.

There was a big compliment by Nigel Short: "Judit smells mate 20 moves ahead!" :D

Its not just Judith, its Polgar sisters. All 3 sisters are incredible

I'm coming here from a video on lazslo's experiment on his children to prove there's nothing like innate talent but hardwork and training and right after I saw this video. Coincidence 🤯

If you ever go over some of her more well known games she presses really hard and really aggressively sometimes conjuring up new ideas as she attacks she is one of the more interesting chess players I have ever seen.

I can't even remember what I did last week. And these great chess players can remember a game and the position the pieces. Unbelievable.

WHAT A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG WOMEN OF ALL COUNTRIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. SUCH A WONDERFULL LADY.

Who came here after that polgar sister video?

Her face at 11:10 and her smile and raising her arms, just was everything for me. Made me tear up a little. So glad to see strong women represented and possibilities opening up.

She made what no one had even imagined possible in that age, she is amazing!!

as mato jelic said of Judith polgar - she's so aggressive that randomly she attacks anyone on the street :p she's so cool!

She defeated Topalov, Karpov, Kasparov, Vishy, and Carlsen. She basically rules the world.

Wow. I'm glad she did this talk. I've been curious about her for a while.

She is such an inspiration!

''Practice, Perseverance, and Passion ...'' I will use those in my writing career. Thank you for sharing your story; we all need to be reminded once and again to push forward against the odds. Thank you.

She is/was a Chess BEAST. Her aggressive tactical prowess was magnificent. I believe at her apex, she was rated #6 in the world.

When Kasparov puts down his jacket. His mind: blyat!

Judit Polgar, the female Mikhail Tal. Great sacrifices, beautiful combinations and absolutely merciless in their hunt for the King.

She is definitely and absolutely by far the greatest women player of all times. She has no comparison now, and never through history. Kudos to her and her parents, as well as her sisters. She played some historical games, her role in chess turned over all previous paradigm.

Just to say you were once Number Eight in strength in the world is a helluva statement. You were once one of the very best chess players alive. You can't take that away from her or anyone in that league.

What a girl ! She and her two sisters never went to school, were home schooled by their parents. Learnt chess and challenged the men and beat most of them. She remained a top 10 player for many times and was always a respected and feared grandmaster.

She played some of the most beautiful games in the history of chess, games that are still a pleasure to study today ... the video gives a glimpse at the player behind these masterpieces

that woman is a legend, my god isn't she incredible at the chessboard. and also, she seems like an unbelievably friendly and warm person. how sweet.

The emcee did not fail to grab the opportunity with this golden time with Polgar. Thank you, thank you!

You may not play chess like Judit Polgar but you can definitely be as humble as Judit Polgar.

Judit is a legend .

Practice, perseverance and passion! The 3 P's too successfully achieving your own personal goals, objectives or tasks. This was a brilliant story and a perfect example of how ones determination can overcome any obstacle in life...

What a wonderful human being. Promoting education skill that's benefiting everyone, regardless of religion, culture or historical background. Thank you.

A true & living inspiration. She's amazing, and deserves every bit of praise that gets thrown her way.

I absolutely agree that chess should be in all schools. It's not just a game. It also teaches logic.

I really liked Judit from the moment I started learning about the chess world. Now, after watching this video I absolutely LOVE her

I'm from a country that always wants sports to be played attractively and agressively (in the good sense of the word, of course). It was during the '90s when I played chess myself. 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.

I remember when I became very curious about chess, I was a young boy then I bought that chess magazine looking at the games of the grandmasters, one of them was Polgar. I thought he was male, many years have past until I discovered she was a female. Wonderful Woman. Amazing. 😊. The best.

I met Judit in 2010 in Khanty Mansisk. She’s humble, pleasant and very friendly, a feature that’s very uncharacteristic of male Grandmasters except Vishy Anand. I have pleasure of taking a picture with her.

Crazy, I saw a video talking about her 2 days ago... Great work.

The person at the end was awesome. He made me watch the video like another 50 times..

Bravo Judit Polgar! Watching from Kenya in mid- 2019!

"Practice, perseverance and passion" key elements of success.

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.

I think any young lady who comes across this video will take something very important with them.

Judit egy nagyszeru ember. Gratulalok az apukajanak ehhez Polgar Lacibacsinak is. Bizonyitotta az igazat!!

One of the greatest Chess players of all time!!! Very aggressive and criative. Love watching her matches.

This is a marvelous talk about chess and life -- everyone who loves chess should watch.

"Dream big, make good moves in life, set your goals high and reach the impossible." 11:05 👏

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

I watched her one of game against Wishwanath Anand , she had brilliant moves and finally Anand resigned. Judit Polgar is really good example for women to dominate chess with male opponents.

whats amazing is that even the example where she gives blindfolded checkmate ....is a real smothered MATE!!!

For me Chess is as much art as sports. Her style makes her one of the goat.not only her strenght.

you made Kasparov cheat in one of his games she made him cheat thats how strong she is

She is a living legend. So much respect to her.

Many tnx for the upload, 👍🇭🇺

As someone who has taught school for years, I agree with her views on the wisdom of teaching chess to children, as my dad did me. In my dream curriculum students would have at least a working knowledge of the greatest 5-7 games ever invented. I think it would be wonderful and benefit those individuals for a lifetime.

She is so adorable, such a charisma. ;D

She has a very sweet personality and an amazing laugh ♥♥

Judit Polar should be an icon for younger siblings everywhere. Was clear her parents thought her older sister would be the most talented. She proved 'em wrong!

Got introduced to this legend after seeing her on samay and sagar's stream... I'm glad I got to know her... There's so much I could learn from her ❤️❤️❤️

So true.. Chess is already a subject in Armenian schools... That's really impacting the way peopel think

Watching this video after I watched Agadmator's video of Judith Pulgar defeating Vishy Anand.....

Judit is so freaking great... her chess game is unreal..

The double bishop sacrifice, an amazing game to analyze by any chess player looking to learn the great game.

Crushing your opponents can sure make you happy and eternally jolly and laughing. :P Jokes aside, she & her sisters are a great inspiration.

Speaking of best female chess players ever, I can't force myself not to mention that Leela Chess Zero is typically anthropomorphized as a female.

Great video, thanks for sharing!

2:25 Qg8+ Rxg8 Nf7 is smothered mate wow

Loved this Talk.... she has a real message for women.

I absolutely adore Judit Polgar and she is my only inspiration for playing chess.

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.

Of all the chess players ever, Judit is my biggest inspiration. Way to go Judit, you are a masterpiece!

she looks like an ordinary sweet mom who would totally screw you up in a serious chess game

Inspiring talks by the Chess Queen Judit.

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.

She is youngest of polger sisters.

She have such a sweet voice ❤️ hard to imagine she is the ferocious lioness she is in chess

I love chess, Judit is a legend.

She is referring to the most famous chess combination in chess.. Nh6+ kh8 qg8+ rg8 nf7#

Thank you Judit

Amazing person. Really great.

Watching it after she defeated Magnus in the park 👑

Thank you..

Nice. Esp. the game snippet at the end, which I had just watched on agadmator's channel!

I don’t know if it is just coincidence, but a lot of situations that she quoted actually happened in The Queens Gambit! Like she winning the 15 guys simultaneously and the Kasparov studying her game

3:51 this is wholesome 💕☺️

Having a photographic memory helps I imagine

She might be the greatest chess player of all time.

Judith explains the essence of chess and she's an authority in every sense of the sport.

"from a sunny day the thunder comes" epic

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
