Feb-26-16 Ivanchuk vs J Polgar, 1997 
| |
| mwic: Stockfish shows 7. Nc3 changing a +.2 advantage into a -.2 disadvantage For move 8, Bf4 and Bg5 bring the score back to almost-even. d5 is sixth-best after 24 levels of analysis, and scores -.46 Does anyone know what constitutes the "Polgar variation" and when it was so named? |

Sep-28-14 Y Hou vs Hiba Omrani, 2004
| |
| mwic: 10...Bd4 also defuses the threat. The same bishop check but then 13. Rh3 f5 is possible when Bishop isn't blocking it. |

| |
| mwic: y, stockfish has 9.e5 as the best, far and away. Anyone know what Karpov didn't like about it? |

Aug-15-14 Carlsen vs J Polgar, 2014
| |
| mwic: Boris, I don't think your thesis is sound. For one thing, you have bad data: Yes, there is only 1 woman in the world top 100, but I did some extra research... I scanned the top-100 lists for the top 8-10 counties, and about 7% of the top players were women. Sounds like women suck, ... |

| mwic: I was stunned to see Nadezhda in UTD gear at the Southwest Open Labor Day weekend (and got her autograph on my copy of Play Like a Girl). How awesome that the only active female GM in the country is now my neighbor! |

Aug-06-13 J Polgar vs Chernin, 2007
| |
| mwic: One of your suspicions is correct: "ladylike gracefulness" is silly and almost-offensive. But per stockfish 17. ...e4 isn't the problem. 19. ...Qf6 is 19. ...Qb6 instead provides compensation for the pawn where it actually means something: queenside |
