there are no men's divisions. There are women's division and open divisions where everybody can participate. Women have tournaments and titles that only they can win. Women's world championship, women grand master etc. This is because FIDE (the international chess federation) wants to encourage girls and women to play and give them places where they feel safe and welcomed. The idea is controversial. Judit Polgar is strongly opposed to such events and titles and never participated in them. She didn't want to be good "for a woman" - she wanted to be GOOD. And she became good. A legend actually. She says that women's titles and events sets the bar too low and therefore does not push female players to reach their potential.
If there was no women division, the only hope for a woman would be to overcome a very misogynistic, men dominated, environnement. With women division, women have more visibility, and have a safe space where they can express themselves before trying the more legit competition. Those women divisions are not meant to be eternal but are necessary to change the chess world.
@@zikilemini2 yes that is the argument for them and it is a valid and interesting argument. However Judit Polgar's argument that there is no reason becoming a world class chessplayer when you can win the women's world championship and 300.000 usd by being number 363 in the world (Ju Wenjun) is also worth considering. Saying that girls and women *need* a special safe place implies that they are not smart enough and not strong enough to compete outside of the safe space and it can be argued that this traps them in a second-tier mindset. I don't claim to have the answer, but I think it is a very interesting and important discussion. I think the world would benefit greatly from a female classical world chess champion.
The way you seemlesly weave lore/history and the moves played in the game is absolutly amazing. I have no idea wether you follow a strict script or not but i am really enjoying it.
no script at all I just rely on whatever knowledge I have gathered throughout my years of being a massive chess nerd lol. I did a script for "The Chess Move that Made World History" but I don't know if it made much of a difference.
I love the way that in your description box you say, "if whispering annoys you, go to this other video on the same topic...". Who on earth could be annoyed by your voice?! It's amazing!👌 Love the premise of this video too. Well done, Judit! ♥️
Judit gave a wonderful interview about this game a few years ago to the BBC, there’s some great footage of the match itself and the resignation by Kasparov. Kasparov’s body language is very shaky throughout as he clocks onto the fact Judit’s absolutely hammering him!
i randomly stumbled across your channel a month ago and i have to say, i love your content. its all very relaxing and has inspired me to start playing chess, in fact, this upload caught me in the middle of a game lol. thanks for making such great content :)
My lord. The amount of effort put into this video and channel is incredible. It's why I keep coming back and revisiting old videos. The quality is so high that I wouldn't be surprised if you hit 1 million subscribers tomorrow. Keep it up. Your content is quite literally one-of-a-kind and unique.
okay, i absolutely love this content cause: 1.chess is pretty good game for your brain and it's fun 2.i love asmr and its quite relaxing so this chanel can give me entertainment, relaxation and knowledge the absolute profit so thanks ✌️ (english is not my native language. i can understand and translate everything, but writing is my weak side)
Could you please do more Polgar games ☺️. I really liked the three Tal games after each other. When there is some kind of series, it looks like you get a feel of the personality of a player. Would love to see the same for Judith Polgar (and hopefully many more in the future) and her relentless attacking spirit.
Another great video! Already watched it a few times with the patreon early access, but of course I'll have to watch it a bunch more times here on UA-cam. Thank you sir. Everyone who can afford to, make sure to support him on patreon to keep the videos coming. Great content we're lucky to have.
I've watched every single video os this channel, and I wait every day of the week for new videos. Absolutely love your content, please keep up the good work!
yeah when all the top 50 masters and stuff fight in chess it usually ends in a draw though since all of them usually make similar moves. just some insight for some of these chess matches
Amazing video as always, I was wondering if you're still gonna do some videos of you playing chess like you did in the past, also congrats on almost 50k!
Such a great video! My favourite chess channel. I'd love more ASMR style actions like in your silent videos e.g. rubbing the board, dragging pieces slowly, taps etc. Otherwise, still good!
Can someone explain why at 2:29 white didn’t play bishop g5? I know these games are from people 50x more skilled at chess than me but it seems like a solid attack idea that is hard to stop (black queen takes white queen, rook recaptures threatening mate unless the knight or bishop blocks) since the bishop is protected by the knight.
If you play it that way, you don't force the opponents king to recapture. Forcing the king to move means it can't castle, which takes a strong defensive move away from Kasparov. In your line, after the queen exchange black plays bishop e7, and then is free to castle, and the king is totally out of danger.
You made a big mistake here : you didn't finished your calculations. After Bg5, Qxd1, Rxd1 threatening mate, it seems scary but not because Be7 blocks the threat, and black is even better because now he can castle and he still has the bishop pair (but maybe it's equal because his majority on the queen side isn't great because of the c double pawns). So, when you calculate, you always have to look how your opponent can block the threat, and evaluate or continue to calculate. Good luck in your way to progress in chess ;)
hello mr asmr chess. I am not meaning to be rude when I say this, but i will say it just to inform you, and not to criticise, but you sometimes get the squares wrong and say, for example, knight to f6 instead of knight to c6. the only real reason why I mention this is because i sometimes fall asleep to your videos, and i sometimes like to imagine the board in my head without looking at the screen. otherwise (and not otherwise) i think your work is absolutely amazing. thank you for reading this, if you did
Loving your videos as always mate but just wondering if you've done something different with the audio? Compared to your other ones this seems quieter and not quite as clear?
I don’t know if this was a mistake but you said the 4th move in the video was knight to f6 instead of c6, not being picky, just saying if you want to go back and fix that.
Excellent pronunciation of the names László and Judit. (However in the first half of the video you had pronounced Judit's name correctly but in the 2nd half you, for some reason changed it to the bad format.) There is a little help from me: 2 words: 1, Yes 2, Jeep Focus on the first sound of these words. Using those sounds we get 2 diffenert types of names: 1, Judit 2, Dzsudit Obviously the first one is the correct one due to the fact that the second one is a non existing name.
At 17:02 if instead of Kc8 Kasparov played Rxf2 then that would protect against the ladder mate. I must be missing something… why is that not a good move?
Happy she won to prove Kasparov wrong about female chess players! I never knew he was so sexist 😕 Just looked it up… turns out a lot of chess players are extremely sexist
Yeah I heard about her father, I'd call him a visionary. Really changed the definition of genius. No woman has ever reached judit polgar's level and only a couple dozen men have.
You Sir are a class act. ♟ Love the videos and I respect the time and research you put into them. Your channel has truly shown me the beauty of what Chess can be so thank you.
I don't understand why chess would be divided into mens and womens divisions it's not a physical contest...

The year I was born in was the year when Kasparov lost a match to a woman
She also had the 5th highest chess rating of all time at her peak in 2004-5

Where to buy your chess set?

Can you please do the Dutch defence
Literally started to learn chess just because of you big man
damn that makes me proud
Did he blunder the queen in the end? Could he have saved it?
it is c6 not f6 1:57
