 | | kamalakanta: Polgar beat Kasparov fair and square. How about that? I read somewhere that Kasparov said the Polgar sisters were "trained dogs." Maybe he is a sore loser. Korchnoi also.... |

| Jan-02-12 | | King Death: < kamalakanta: ...I read somewhere that Kasparov said the Polgar sisters were "trained dogs."...> And what would that make him? It's not like he didn't have every resource in the Soviet system behind him on his way up. This is really funny. < Maybe he is a sore loser. Korchnoi also....> Somehow I don't see any maybe about it. |

 | | FSR: <NewLine> Yes, it could turn out a lot like the book <The Wreck of the Titan>, written in 1898 and describing a disaster that sounds a lot like the sinking of the similarly-named <Titanic> 14 years later: <On April 14, 1912, the huge "unsinkable" ship the Titanic was steaming across the Atlantic towards New York. This was the Titanic's maiden voyage, and her captain was encouraged to break the record for speed while making the voyage. As most people know, after striking an iceberg, the unsinkable ship went down in only a matter of hours. Out of the 2,201 passengers, only 711 were saved. Since then, there have been many books and movies about the Titanic. There was one fictional story written by a merchant seaman by the name of Morgan Robertson. Robertson's book was about an unsinkable passenger liner that sank while carrying the elite people of the time. The ship in Robertson's story was called the Titan and the book was titled <The Wreck of the Titan>. Even though the book is fictitious, the events in the story parallel the events of the Titanic. Both ships were built to be unsinkable. Both ships sank after striking an iceberg. Both ships were on their maiden voyage. The most well to do famous people were on the Titan and Titanic. Only one third of the passengers on each ship survived. Both ships had an inadequate number of lifeboats. Both ships were encouraged to break speed records during their voyage. Robertson's book <The Wreck of the Titan> was never published. Each time it was rejected by editors, they told him the same thing. The story was unbelievable. Surely the events he wrote of could not possibly happen to an unsinkable ship. The book, <The Wreck of the Titan> was written in 1898, fourteen years before the Titanic hit an iceberg and settled on the bottom of the northern Atlantic.> http://www.gettysburgghosts.net/tit... |

| | FSR: A very strange choice of opening by Kasparov. Defending a slightly worse endgame in order to hold a draw really isn't his thing. And why do it against Polgar, against whom he had a huge plus score? Of course, it's very easy to criticize such decisions after the fact. |
|
| Jan-03-12 | | kevin86: It looks like Kasparov wasn't hung(a)ry enough. |
|
| Jan-09-12 | | King Death: <FSR> I agree with you and it makes a funny impression watching Nakamura play it. While the greatest players especially can handle any position, this variation doesn't really seem suited to either Kasparov or Nakamura. |
|
| Mar-07-12 | | cristoff: Kasparov was great,but wasn't the best.The best EVER were Alekhine and Capa!!! |

| | FSR: Judy, Judy, Judy. |
|
| Sep-02-12 | | cowing: I think Kasparov was so unnerved by Judit's nailing his queen in 8 that he was sunk. This is a stunning game. |

43.Rbe7 Rf8(Rh8) 44.Rxa7 Kb8 45.Rgb7+ Kc8 46.Ra8+ Kxb7 47.Rxf8(Rxh8) two pawns more and an easy win for a GM. |
|
| Feb-04-13 | | csmath: Kasparov trying to imitate Kramnik playing passive defence. Obviously he was studying Berlin Wall long enough to try it but this is really not his style of play. Judit kills him nicely by strangulation. :-) |

| Sep-03-13 | | niceforkinmove: From the guardian:
"Victory was sweet for Polgar. Before they first met in Spain a few years ago, Kasparov described her as a "circus puppet" and said that women chess players should stick to having children." http://www.theguardian.com/world/20... |

 | | perfidious: That quote from The Guardian sounds rather like the former WSOP champion Amarillo Slim's views on women in poker from the early 1970s-believe it went 'I think women are meant to be loved, not to play poker'. Amongst others, Jennifer Harman (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/pla...) or Vanessa Selbst (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/pla...) might disagree with him, and I have played with a number of other women who can give a man all they can handle. |

 | | offramp: Part of chessgames.com is Catalan, if that helps. |
|
| Apr-06-14 | | RedShield: Nice clips of this game, including Garry's resignation, but the best part is the identity parades at the start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kag... |
|
| Jul-28-14 | | shintaro go: Kasparov was @#$%* smashed in this game. Good job Judit |

| | perfidious: <shintaro go: Kasparov was @#$%* smashed in this game. Good job Judit> 'Fore you lose your head, it should be borne in mind that this was Polgar's <only> win against Kasparov in her career. |
|
| Jul-28-14 | | shintaro go: So what? It doesnt change the fact that kasparov got shamed |
|
Jul-28-14
| | perfidious: Your posts don't change the fact that Kasparov owned Judit, same as most everyone else he faced during his brilliant career. Meanwhile, you are reduced to denigrating a top player whose jockstrap you couldn't carry in ten lifetimes. |
|
| Jul-28-14 | | SimonWebbsTiger: @<perfidious>
there is a certain schadenfreude in this game, though. After bashing his head v. the Berlin (and Kramnik), Garry drops the Najdorf or Scheveningen for it and gets gubbed! It justs add a certain poetry to the Berlin Wall story. |
