Incident on Women's World Chess Blitz Championship

[Pulsar1988]

Does her actions gives any advantages ?

[zooMZooMlikeATyphOOn]

Arbiter ruined this beautiful girl's career. She hasn't had an entry in chessgames . com since this blitz championship.

[MADMAC572]

@zooMZooMlikeATyphOOn It's one game. That's all. It's not that big a deal. It's a game. Let's keep some perspective. If the outcome of one lousy game is the difference between having a career and not... that says something about competetive chess. And it's not something good.

[zooMZooMlikeATyphOOn]

@MADMAC572 this is the world championships. its not a random chess event. and in order to have a good showing at the world championships you can't have losses. it's a pretty huge deal.

[MADMAC572]

@zooMZooMlikeATyphOOn did you watch the Mathysee - Judah fight? Mathysee should have won that fight. Bad decision. But guess what, he's still fighting and getting lots of good fights and another world championship opportunity. This is a chess match. If the girl is really good, she'll have LOTS of other opportunities. Just like Mathysee did (and does). It's a chess game. She doesn't even have to deal with someone punching her in the head for her trouble.

@MADMAC572

Sorry, you are soooooooooooo wrong on this one. you HAVE to fight tooth and nail in any professional sport for yourself. Especially in chess, being a mental sport, psychology is everything. You don't understand the stress it puts on a person when you can't just vent your frustrations by punching the other person harder. In chess, that kind of adrenaline rush is 99% of the time fatal.

[MADMAC572]

@a015537 I have to disagree. One match, of any type, does not a career make. It certainly doesn't ruin one (unless it causes physical impairment - unlikely in chess). If she's good enough to be a top level player, she'll be back. It may be frustrating, but it defintely should not "ruin her career" - assuming she had one to begin with.

[juandsom]

no entiendo ni mierda

[thaihpneu]

Fucking old arbiter! He should have let them playing themselves!

[JOTTABYTE]

That is why I prefer to play with computer instead of humans.

[zooMZooMlikeATyphOOn]

wow what a load of nonsense if its just because she put her queen on the square before moving the pawn

[McGerbal]

In chess like in life, they're always cheating... lol

[koss121]

blue girl is hot

[lopytube]

@koss121

yeah is it my perversion or does any one else not mind banging one of the three women in the clip.

i know shame of me

[MADMAC572]

@lopytube It's your perversion. Not to be unkind... but I would not go there personally.

[steamroller82]

both the arbiter and the player playing black were not aware that pawns can be promoted. hence the argument over the b-pawn's promotion on b8.

[TheAlnoth]

@steamroller82 thats not what they were arguing about at all. they were arguing the "technique" of promotion. the promotion itself was never in question at all. the white player did not place the pawn on the 8th rank. she lifted the pawn off of its place and holding a queen in her hand already she put down a queen on b8, but never the pawn itself. this what the arbiter and the girl playing black were protesting.

he still shouldnt accept that protest - theres no rule that says it must be done

[mombaassa]

Why is there a separate championship for women?

[bach5861]

if u try to play chess, learn some Russian, like Bobby Fischer.

[EGarrett01]

Please don't put the title in English if the video is not in English. Waste of time.

[xxxIronLeexxx]

As punishment they should be made to strip.

[YoutubSUCKZ]

arbiter is a comunist pig

[fjficm]

Agreed TomKaren. I would have supported the chick in blue rather than the fat minga in black

[TomKaren1994]

If Black complained, then she's just a bitch who needs a Rook shoved up her Kremlin. The arbiter needs taken out back and beaten.

[JasonRadley]

Nice boobies but the biggest booby is the arbiter.

[Xargxes]

What is going on!?

[TEDOVSKY]

The player with the white pieces has only herself to blame. You have to place the pawn on the square and then any piece of the same colour apart from another pawn or a king that you touch on that square then THAT is the chosen piece. I got the info from a russian chess friend who dug out this controversial moment and the white player placed a queen on the square BEFORE touching her intended queening pawn. The arbiter was angry because as an experienced tournament player she should know the rule.

[TEDOVSKY]

@TEDOVSKY Personally,winning OR losing i would NOT complain to the arbiter, and if the arbiter was sure i had SEEN the "illegal promotion" move but that i had NO intention of complaining then the arbiter cannot intervene. BOTH players were lucky here, because had the arbiter had thought that COLLECTIVELY they were disturbing the other players playing in the hall with their commotion then he had the power to stop their game dead and BOTH players get ZERO points.(That's in the rules too.)

[mrpenguin920]

@TEDOVSKY Carlsen does that all the time and he doesn't get penalized like she did. The rules are the rules but things are not black and white either. It was not fair for white to give up that game from a winning position just because of such a small mishap. As arbiter I would have just given her a warning. If he wants to enforce instead of warn at all cost he should be a policeman not an arbiter.

[Kasuh3]

The arbiter was trying to convince them to go make him a ham sandwich

[MalaTemporaCurrunt]

@Kasuh3 like that! yes!

[russinak]

Pure logic is used in this game... Why are women playing?

[mitchellhodgemeyer]

@russinak Grow up.

[MalaTemporaCurrunt]

@Bbyanar YEA

[MrJuno6]

If she claimed the game in a lost position just because the player "promoted incorrectly", then she is an unsporting arse,

[glaurung78]

I thought that if you make an illegal move, then you are punished with two minutes on the clock.

[EugenePotemkin]

@glaurung78 Sh did not make an ilegal move. Arbiter was wrong

[janweltevreden]

@EugenePotemkin She did. In order to promote a pawn to a Queen you have to physically touch the queening-square with the pawn when it leaves the 7th rank. Here, the player touched the queening-square with a new Queen and THEN touched the pawn on the 7th rank. That's illegal. The arbiter was angry because the player intending to queen should know the rule and was questioning his competence regarding that chess-rule. Personally i would never make an issue of this even if it meant i was to lose.

[rmilrta]

@janweltevreden Sounds like a stupid rule if it is a rule. When players play blitz pieces are all over the place.

[YtubeUserr]

The position is won for white!

[YtubeUserr]

punch that guy! Oh, women don't do that do they?

[Blirith]

That fkn arbiter needs shot.

[aixelsyd82]

Are they saying she promoted incorrectly?

[somnys]

@aixelsyd82 yea i think she put a queen on the eight square w/o moving the pawn there first.  But i'm not sure. The guy (arbiter?) seems awfully angry at her though.
