At 5:49, what is the 3-move combination that is being referred to in the comments that black has?

[Sorcerer88]

nice game, beautiful photo at the end!

I think psychological pressure may play a bigger role in female chess. Some women can be very weak under pressure. Thats the reason they don't let females into front line combat at least in the US army.

[S3969]

That isn't the reason they don't let women onto the front line, there are many reasons and mental strength isn't one of them, if a person wasn't strong they just wouldn't pass training, gender is irrelevant to mental strength

[BMac7773]

Actually no its not. But you can tell yourself whatever you want, like I said there is a reason they don't let women on the front lines and its not because they have breasts. And its not because they menstruate either, they have pills that can take care of that.

Thats almost a Fischer quote :)

A GM should have been able to find Nxc3. What was it a 3 move combination that she missed? Maybe she was sick.

[SeanGGodley]

Wow Kc you met Natalia Pogonina; she is every male chess player's dream woman; a stunning model and a GM - and lovely too, by all accounts. I hope you gave her the standard chess chat-up line regarding "mating all night, in lots of different positions." =0)

[SeanGGodley]

P.s. If you meet her again tell her she can give me a psychological blow anytime! (Sorry, I could not resist.)

Ciao,

Sean

[willmiller5]

This is hilarious.

[arandomperson240]

@SeanGGodley she actually is very nice, I have sparred with her, I don't think I even made it to the 20th move.

[kingscrusher]

@SeanGGodley No I saw her opponent at Gibraltar - Stefanova

[SeanGGodley]

Ah - ok, no worries! Btw how would you feel about doing a combined playlist of Fischer's 60 Memorable Games? Because I have just got a copy and I'm planning to do all of the games not already covered.

[PureWillpower1]

@SeanGGodley no we are only attracted to peices.

[SeanGGodley]

I see - not sure what you mean tho!!?

[Ruxistico]

aaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahaaha­haha!!!! I actually laughed out loud!

[xXxWilliExXx]

A nice game, although I thought 9...Bxf3 was a little suspect by Black, not to mention falling for a tactic to lose a piece!

[vishallama]

This is really great! You should do more videos on women's games in the future, too. You might consider analyzing games of the top 20 women, say.

[PogoninaNatalia]

Thanks a lot for this wonderful video! I will upload it to my website too. Just one small amendment: I'm PogOnina, not PogonIna. :-)

[mavaddat]

@PogoninaNatalia

Haha, I believe you've had to make this amendment in the past as well.

When will we ever learn?

[Majnu2006]

And is it StevAnova or StevanOva?

I guess the first, right?

[PogoninaNatalia]

StefAnova

[djcripsalot]

hi natalia i hope u will make commentary videos like chessqueen

[PogoninaNatalia]

I might...some day. :-)

[jirishanca]

Every time I hear "Hi all," I know it's time for another entertaining and concise trip through an interesting game.

[altay8]

Every time I hear "Hi all!" it sounds a bit like "Heil!" to me, and it makes me smile.

[ShinobiAC]

It took me so long to realize he was saying "Hi all" at the beginning of his videos.

[mmasny]

isn't it a scots way to pronounce 'all'? like 'awe'.
