The 'Queen of Chess' who defeated Kasparov - BBC News 

Lazlo didn't just train them, he put the genuine love of the game in them. He never pushed them when they didn't want to play and made it fun and enjoyable so that they attached good memories when playing. He believed that training plus favorable circumstances would mold a genius. He originally wanted Susan to train in math but it was Susan who chose chess after finding her father's chest set.

Their father succeeded in his experiment….he and his daughters proved that women were just as capable as men in playing chess.

@@jhOO7 Absolutely not. She had the privilege of being trained at early age by a GM whilst every other grandmaster just used their own brains, women are not capable as men. Just look at the rankings dude. Kasparov beat her 12-3, don't wanna mention that?

Imagine being born just to prove a point lol

@@barackobama7255 if the experience was made on 10 millions woman, one of then would beat kasparov, it's just there isn't enough woman player.

Wdym?

@@MusicPlaylistsChannel Svetlana Alexievich's The Unwomanly Face of War is a fantastic read if you want to find out more about the enormous sacrifices made by the women of Soviet Russia, thousands and thousands of whom gave their lives fighting Hitler for the Red Army.

very poignant point. but i think most people would take incremental starvation and the cold over being marched off to the slaughter. the men possibly don't see what the women went through as comparatively difficult

@@ottopotomas My point is that plenty of Russian women were themselves marched off to the same slaughter

Kasparov is American now 😂

@@SirEvilPudding umm ok

that's not true. all good players loses to women. it's just he doesn't take the woman as a serious opponent or maybe somehow he's attracted to women who are so smart.

bruceliem No. Women are worse at chess than men. "all good players loses to women" Women lose to men more.

that is bullshit! Kasparov lost to Judith because she played best and he only played better at that particular play. The lost has nothing to do with gender. You play to win or lost period.

That's why we must be humble. Don't be arrogant

xpegasu thats a pretty creepy statistical observation

what is more sad is that Chess is a man's game ,a woman will never win a world championship

Hopefully this game will be more unisex in the future with the rise of online chess. I think this will help the game be more accessible to more people and even out the gender ratio.

@@Zharque Not a thing will change 🤷🏿‍♂️.

What's the story ?

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SwsYWmjUP-k.html on 15:00 minut you can see that situation where Kasparov cheated on 17 years old Yudit Polgar.

@Kertan Rajpal It was filmed by a journalist from my country, Serbia, and I knew that this video was on youtube, so I search for it because i now that man posted it on yt.

@Kertan Rajpal I don't think the tournament director saw that, it happened really fast you can see that the footage is slowed down in order to show the moment he lets go of the knight then moves it again, anyways not to find excuses it was cheating and it costed her the game cause it would've been a draw if he didn't do that as she had a nice fork by the bishop attacking the queen and rook and the knight would've been covering the only defender of that square, also one more thing he wouldn't necessarily lose the game but they would add time to Judit

True

It was not easy for all 3 sisters. Susan talks about grandmasters telling her she "belonged either in the kitchen or the bedroom" when she played at tournaments. There was also one time her life was threatened just for competing.

@@rumblefish9 Oh my lord. I'm so shocked as well as disappointed to hear that. What sort of psychotic misogyny people ingrain in their heads?!

@@valardohaeris333 eh... Kasparov has a very very good score against Judith, basically beating her 12 times while she has beaten him once. Don't let this video fool you into thinking that Judith was anywhere close to being as good as Kasparov

@@KARTIKEYA007 I don’t really think this comment was comparing Judit’s wins to Kasparov’s wins? OP was talking about this very specific circumstance and the comments Kasparov made afterwards. No one explicitly said Judit was better than Kasparov, just that she won this game?

Facts!!

@Cancel Patrick Everyone _can_ technically do anything these days, that doesn't mean that the social fabric that currently exists predicates upon that belief though. People tend to be the product of their environments and it so happens that we live in a society that heavily discourages women from a very early age from pursuing more competitive or creative careers. There is certainly a gigantic gap between the number of male to female players, but I wonder how much of that is due to the social issue I just mentioned. Certainly, if we got rid of that stigma, we would see the numbers increase, though I doubt it would every amount to a 50/50 fraction. Maybe it would switch from the current 16/1 to maybe 16/4. The goal is to encourage people to pursue what they desire, and to claim no social stigma exists is utter ignorance.

"There is no shame to losing to a woman" I agree but when you lose to a woman after saying stupid sexist ignorant things like "She has a fantastic chess talent, but she is, after all, a woman" and "no woman can sustain a prolonged battle", you are going to be shamed and rightly so.

@Cancel Patrick you are an idiot. What Kasparov said was wrong, sexist, ignorant, and stupid. If you can't realize that, than you have no place in this society. However "discouraged" Polgar got over Kasparov's statements, it didn't stop her from beating him, did it?

@Cancel Patrick "My points still stand. If you get discourage by verbal insults it simply means you have weak mentality. You're just simply not ready to face the real world." but it was still wrong to make the verbal insults in the first place. I think you fail to grasp that point.

I actually like how intense it is! Try switching between blitz and classical. Blitz makes u play more intuitively. And don't worry too much about winning, especially if ur aiming for growth. Just play the best game you can even if that means losing. Try out different tactics, openings, go out of ur comfort zone... Trust me the game will be more fun and u'll improve fast.

The redhead with the death stare in Queen's Gambit, that's her

Only because Kramnik let it resurface in 2000 against Kasparow, and she said that because she knew from training with Kasparow, that Kasparow did not particularly like the Berlin defense.

In chess it s war . Psychology game. I think garry is a great person. But a beast on the board. Like all top players.

@Kertan Rajpal I don't know. I think Kasparov did a great job to promote chess globally. About attitude . I really don't know. Emotional we are humans with ups n downs.

@Q S What ban? Can you elaborate?

The fact is that Polgar best a world champion an an inconceivably young age, especially when Kasparov described her as "just a woman.". So it's a huge statement to get that one win.

Kasperov made it out that she could never beat him. All it takes is one win to prove him wrong. I hear he apologized for his remarks at some point.

@@Liamalaing young age?? She was in her 20s and Kasparov in his 40s

@@dialgamor1548 he did say in a prolonged game she can't sustain, and she won a rapid game

@@Qhsjahajw Not sure what point you're making? He apologized later for his dumb remarks. If he pointed out a personal weakness in constructive criticism fashion, that's no problem anyway. I'm sure he's not perfect at everything either. But if you're trying to shift the goalpost and say her win didn't really mean anything, that's a poor opinion. But I am not sure what you're getting at and can't say if I'm missing the mark or not. At the end of the day he took back what he said about her and women in general, which is a step forward as a person. Polgar is an example of how far you can get with hard work, but she was unwilling to sacrifice the rest of her life to be the very best, something top chess men seem to be more willing to do. But despite the difference between them in focus and effort, she still got in one win. How much more Polgar might achieve if she was more dedicated. But I'm sure she's happy with what people and things she decided to be dedicated to instead. Part of growing up is figuring out those priorities and a solid person does what they want and not just what others want of them.

Kasparov beat her 12 to 1, with 4 draws. She won a single game. In chess, when playing at the high levels, you have multiple games, sometimes even 15 straight games. Judit has never won a set, or a series with any top male player. the hype is over one win out of 17 games. It isn't odd there haven't been many other women who could challenge the top male players, because it's isn't common. No woman is at their level, it's just fact. Judit is a good player, compared with other women, but she barely survives Kasparov, or anyone else.

@@FantoSunbae Until or unless.a woman does prevail in a tournament against male chess champions, I'd say you have a point. But Polgar has beaten some of the best males with games that were absolutely brilliant. So she may not win against men in the long run, but in any given match, she is a serious threat to win.

It's because women aren't pushed as hard as men to play chess.

@@elizabradbury7266 You may be right, but to become an IG a person has to be incredibly motivated to play chess. I've known women in the business world who push as hard as men. I'm sure one day, a woman will come along in chess, who will be world champion.

His exact words were that he thinks it is "almost impossible" that a woman will ever be world champion due to the SIGNIFICANTLY lower playing strength of women in chess.

I grew up with Karpow and Kasparow, and all these keyboard warriors here have no clue what that era really was like. What is today interpreted as a sexist comment by all the obnoxious SJWs, Karens and other useless members of society was simply an honest evaluation based on facts by the GOAT of chess.

Are you just another jealous queen, Smooth kriminal?

She is actually the strongest female chess player in history - so far disputably. Theyre not claiming she is the best at chess but she is referred to the queen of chess because of her dominance in the same-sex field she had.

It Didn't say king.. After all there is no women born as successful as her in chess.

@@martin9410 "in a male dominated field" LOL.

@@dr.z7958 ?

Well that's kind of the thing with the best players. Kasparov at his highest level is much stronger than what she can ever accomplish. It's only the fact that he played poorly that she managed to win.

Just like some of the comments here…regardless of gender, the losing opponent needs to show good sportsmanship

Well chess is such a game where you can't win without mistakes from your opponent. Especially at that level.

Yeah, right. I bet top ten female chess players can win over 99.(9)% of men on the whole planet. It's only a matter of time.

***** I bet you're wrong. Polgar defeated Kasparov, Spassky.... But let me check for you. Here's what Wikipedia tells us: "Polgár is the only woman to have won a game against a reigning world number one player, and has defeated eleven current or former world champions in either rapid or classical 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 disagree. One can say that statistically, men have better results than women, which does not mean men are better than women, because it's a value judgement and cannot be objective. You can say statistically Real Madrid has better results than Deportivo La Coruna, but Deportivo could defeat Real in a match next week or Deportivo has defeated Real on some occasions in the past. But maybe in the following 50 years, Deportivo might statistically have more wins over Real Madrid. A thousand men could defeat a billion women, but a hundred women could also defeat a billion men.

Stefan Kaiser Stefan Kaiser Lets be honest, she studied chess for all her life, ALL and she couldn't be the world champion... Magnus came with 13 years old and what happened? He got the world champion, girls on chess are not good. The only good girl in chess is Judit and she got rekt by Magnus Carlsen... Look all the Top players in the actually, are they girls? Oh no, they are MEN. Don't come here and cry, feminist. All we know men dominate chess.

And another thing, you're saying that there are more men playing chess than women, and you said that's why all good player are males, so answer me, why you think there are more men playing chess than women? :) Why you think the only good girl in chess of the history was judit polgar that studied chess all her life? She didnt go to school for the chess...
