Judit Polgar Tricks Magnus Carlsen 

You know that feeling when you're walking in a park and see Magnus Carlson and Judit Polgar playing chess.

Love Judit with the innocent "oh I'm no one special don't worry about me" right before the dagger Bb6!! A great commenter, great player, wonderful ambassador for the game.

Hey guys! This was just a quick clip from today's livestream, I was in the retiro park and filmed this. Hope you enjoy it even though I know it's a little hard to follow the moves. Have a great day :)

Everyone needs to understand what a gift this clip is. The best male and female chess player of all time, literally the King and Queen of chess history. Playing blitz in the park, laughing and having fun while still produce an interesting game with nice combination in the end. I feel blessed.

In Rapport vs Nepo about 7 moves before she was like "but bishop sacrifice on h3 and it's a forced draw"... She litterally found it "over the board" 7 moves in advance while commentating with no engine. It took her like 5 seconds... In that moment I understood She is still super GM strength. Love her!

Judit is one of my favourite chess lecturers. If you’ve ever seen any of her instructional videos, they’re quite insightful and easy to follow for club players.

I've had the honor of playing against Judit Polgar in a simultan game (I was a 1300 rated player back then, who knew nothing about openings). We played the queen's gambit accepted, then she bashed a bishop into my short castle, long castled, and from then on, my only goal was to just survive. I got checkmated on move 23, it was a crazy game. Edit: Thank you for all the likes, I didn't expect this at all. I'm going to write down the entire game here for all of you (Judit had the white pieces). DISCLAIMER: I know I wasn't playing accurately at all, I've analyzed this game, don't educate me in the responses pls, thank you😇 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. c4 c6 4. Nc3 dxc4 5. e4 e6 6. Bg5 Be7 7. Bxc4 b5 8. Bd3 O-O 9. Qc2 g6 10. h4 h5 11. e5 Nd5 This is where the fun begins... 12. Bxg6 Bxg5 I didn't take back the Bishop, because I was scared of the Queen (Rightfully so I think). 13. hxg5 f5 I was like: I'm already dead, lets give her En Passant, 'cause why the f*ck not. 14. gxf6 Nxf6 I wanted to protect my King, so I sacced a Knight. 15. exf6 Rxf6 16. Rxh5 Qe7 Here, Kristóf started to panic. 17. O-O-O Nd7 18. Rh1 Qg7 I was awaiting death. 19. Bh7+ Kf8 20. Rg5 Qf7 21. Ne4 Bb7 Whoops, I blundered a dangerous fork. 22. Nd6 Qe7 Whoops again, now I blundered a King 23. Rg8# I didn't see that coming at all, game over, Judit (obviously) won.

“She is a killer and can sense the checkmate in 20 before” - Alexei Shirov (one of the best players in 90s and 00s) about Judit Polgar

In her prime, Judit was a perennial Top 10-20 (in the world) Super GM, with a vicious, tactical attacking style. I fully expect her to win lots of blitz games against any competitor, no matter how rusty she may be. She is light years beyond being just a "strong GM" and should be feared. No other woman in chess history has come close to what she accomplished.

You can tell Magnus just loves playing chess. The respect he has for former players is so obvious in situations like this. While he is stronger than those who came before him, he seems to get nostalgic playing old fashioned opening lines he watched growing up.

Y tras esto, Magnus Carlsen exclamó: ¡Tsschessumare!

She may be "retired" but she is in no way rusty, the lines and moves she proposes in her commentaries (no engine help) are top notch and she could still light it up in blitz and rapid

Judit is and always will be the Queen of chess. She was an absolute monster! Respect ✊🏽

I like the idea that the ‘real games’ go down in the park outside where the candidates officially play. Kind of like the green room in ‘The Color of Money.’

I'm just more impressed at how quickly she re-arranged the pieces at 3:03

I’m geuinely jealous, so many cool people in one park at the same time.

"If to 'play like a girl' meant anything in chess, it would mean relentless aggression." -Garry Kasparov, re: Judit Polgar

So… Magnus just got JUDITPOLGARED.

Judit still one one of the greatest chess players of all times ... especially considering the level of the competition when she was in her prime and the results she was able to achieve.

Two legends in the park, having a good time, nice crowd watching the game. And a spectacular game it is - never seen Magnus give up so quickly after that fatal blow of Judit.

Love how Judit spring a surprise move that nailed the game...... brilliant

For those, who don't get what happened: Magnus Queen is the only defender of his d7 pawn. He can't take Judit's Bishop and can't move his Queen to a safe square without giving away the d7 pawn support. If he would do so, Qxd7 from Judit would be mate on the next move.

Loving Judit's range of emotions starting at 1:49

Judith is still able to switch to beast mode. Great stuff by both players. Sounds like Anish is having a great time too.

Both Judit and Magnus are such nice people, truly ambassadors of chess

Judit still got it!!!

I just realised I was watching this video with a smile on my face, and I am still smiling.

Judit has been joyous throughout the Candidates. Much respect.

Best female and male players of all time. Anna laughing in the background and Anish with his usual comments makes this video even more special 🤣🤣🤣

I like how Judit starts saying something when Magnus moves the rook and the sentence just slows down and never finishes as she sees the bishop play and she gets the killer look on her face

For anyone, who doesn't know.This woman is not anyone, but Judit Polgar. A Grand Master and retired.

I like how it took the people watching 16 seconds to figure out what happened before they started clapping.

Wow!! One of the coolest chess games I've seen in a very long time. Judit is still an amazing chess player. Caught the world champion completely off guard. Thank you for uploading this! Cheers!

I love the reactions from this angle. Judit just sitting calmly while Anish loses his mind is so funny.

Judit is a beast !!! Incredible strong GM !! It's fun to see her with Magnus enjoying their time !!!

Happy to see this clip on RU-vid wasn't as choppy as the livestream

Favorite chess clip of all time.

Iconic video footage - Amazing for Anna to capture this for the chess world :) Cheers, K

This emanates kryptonite levels of power right here.

Muchas gracias Anna por traer esta partida. ❤

Those who don't recognize Judit may wonder: How is it possible that a middle-aged mom casually destroys the current reigning chess world champion?

Judit Polgar, an incredibly strong chess player. Still great against the world champ. What an amazing game.

Judit remains one of the strongest players in the world - she just stopped playing tournaments. If you watch Magnus enough you will know that he just does not get trapped like that - she is a legend.

I played her sister Susan Polgar in 1996 and was honored to get crushed in 19 moves. Still have the scoresheet with her signature.

Judith is still a bad ass!

JUDIT POLGAR IS MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always enjoyed watching both her and magnus play back in the day. What she did back in the day to popularize womens chess was nothing short of incredible.

Judit Polgar at the park? Everyone leaving.

A memorable day for chess enthusiasts to see this live.

I love how she seems almost embarrassed when she finds the bishop move. Queen of hearts.

This will become one of the most viewed chess games in RU-vid . 👍👍👍👏👏👏

¡Una joyita y un partidazo! ¡Gracias, Anna!

Wow! ví el stream en diferido! definitivamente uno de los mejores!!

the queen against the king

Hahaha Anish and Magnus just going off with the "Oh My Gods" when Judith plays the move is just an absolute epic moment!

Happy to look 2 legends playing informally.

It's always nice to see Judit play chess with her incredible attacking style, I just love her.

¡Que grande Judit!! Me alegro mucho de haberla conocido en persona

Este es todo el juego de Magnus Carlsen VS Judith Polgar, 2 Julio 2022: 1. e4 - c5 2. Cf3 - e6 3. d4 - cxd4 4. Cxd4 - Cc6 5. Cc3 - a6 6. Ae3 - Dc7 7. Dd2 - Cf6 8. f3 - Ae7 9. O-O-O - b5 10. g4 - Cxd4 11. Axd4 - Ab7 12. e5 - Cxg4 (!) 13. Tg1 - Ch6 14. Ad3 - Af8 15. Ae4 - Tc8 (?) 16. Ab6 (!) - Axe4 17. Axc7 - Ac6 18. Ad6 - Cf5 19. Ce4 - (Se rinde)

The elegance just flows from their hands. Just watching how they move their pieces you can feel the mastery over their craft.

Thanks for the fun clip! 😊

This was fun, I like Magnus and Judit is a treasure, fun seeing them play each other and Magnus can be such a gentleman. Very nice clip, thank you.

Judit, bringing the pain. I can hear her now: “Are you joking?!”

That reaction from both of them is priceless

I love the little jolt on her face at 1:52 when she sees that he blundered. It took her not even 2 seconds to see it.

Judit Polgar, The Queen of chess ❤

Lucha de titanes en el ajedrez . Aunque sea un aficionado valoro este encuentro Rey y Reina 🌹❤️👏👏👏👍♟️la sonrisa lo dice todo una gran amistad entre campeones .

Cool video. Nice to see these two legends enjoy a friendly game.

its good to see them so relaxed and having fun..........

Quelle joie de vous voir jouer pour le plaisir en plein air tout en décontraction une très belle partie d'échec !♥️♥️♥️

Increíble Judit, ganándole a Magnus!!! Ese sacrificio de alfil, estuvo espectacular

We just got to witness a piece of history right here - the strongest man ever vs. the strongest woman ever. One hundred years from now, agadmator's great-grandkid will be commentating this game: "HELLO everybody! Today we have a very interesting game...."

Que lindo verlos asi relajados.. Falto el tablero, pero la camaradería es lo que importa. Esperando volver a ver a Nepo y Carlsen!

Judit Polgár is still one of the best chess players in the world.

Man, she was always so impressive player! Nice educational attacking games! I respect her so much!

Hungarian Judit Polgar, the strongest female chess player of all time, was inducted into the World Chess Hall of Fame in St. Louis, Missouri, on December 3, 2022

So quick! 17 .Bb6!! Judit was like: "Oh no! My bishop is hanging" 🤓 1:56 But Judit is unable to miss a tactic. (And Magnus resigned on Move 20.)

Judit still has it, and Magnus is a true gentlemen, having fun in the park. Great match!

Judith, with 12 women's world champ. a true phenomenon.

Distraction is a big part of any game and to have it work is a blessing, Sometimes you really need to slow down and take a closer look. awesome match!

nice to see people having fun..

What an honor that must have been for Magnus.

I love that they're being buds having fun! So - for some, it is probably worth knowing (part of the story) that this mate is well known, at least by people who play Taimanov in a dedicated way. Magnus was just drifting and having fun with his brain turned off - and that is entertainment value in its own right - but who better than Judit to yank his chain??

the clocks are on the wrong side.

Thank you Anna, that was a classic.

Polgar had a rating in the 2700s and was #8 at one point. She’s literally a former Super GM.

Judit is easily in my top 10 favorite players of all time along with Magnus, Kasparov, Fischer, Anand, Morphy et al.

This was nice to see a great VIBE between them both , ( Magnus and Judith ) smiling enjoying playing Chess great stuff keep up the good work stay blessed & Fantastic!!...

Her way of playing is hypnotical

goat vs goat

The reason Bb6 traps the queen is because magnus’s queen is guarding against Qd7 mate. He can’t take the bishop which would blunder mate. Here’s the line if you’re having a hard time seeing it: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nc6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be3 Qc7 7. Qd2 Nf6 8. f3 Be7 9. O-O-O b5 10. g4 Nxd4 11. Bxd4 Bb7 12. e5 Nxg4 13. Rg1 Nh6 14. Bd3 Bf8 15. Be4 Rc8 16. Bb6 (traps Mag’s queen…applause) Bxe4 17. Bxc7 Bc6 18. Bd6 Nf5 19. Ne4 *black resigns*

The GOATs playing a match.

Chessnetwork did a good commentary on this game, love that you captured the players smiling and laughing.

El otro que dice: Oh My God!! es Anish Giri, que lindo ver a estos tres monstruos del ajedrez en un clima relajado divirtiéndose como niños!!!

love them both, sincerly

Sending love and light for both of you. From Indonesia.

One of the great blessings of this era is Grand Master Chess being encouraged among the masses because of Internet and laughter and friendship. This kind of play rarely if ever took place in the 20th century among all the chess masters.

POV: You miss a day of playing chess in the park with your 500-Elo friends. When you come the next day, they tell you "btw Judith and Magnus played here yesterday".

Wow! The greatest man and woman chess players of all time playing blitz with each other!!!

Met Judith long time ago in Jakarta in an tournament when she was so young

Magnus seems to be such a nice guy! And Polgar so humble. What a truly magnificent combination!
