As a postscript to my first post:

Most members of the "2700 Club" -- at least the ones I've looked up -- have a winning record against Judit Polgar. Morozevich leads JP 10-0. Karjakin leads 4-2. Ivanchuk leads 10-8. Grischuk leads 5-3, and Svidler leads 5-4.

@Vithification those players u mentioned are all in the top 10. judit's ranked 31st. so it's not surprising that they would have more wins

This is an amazing game, truly amazing. White out of the opening looked completely lost. What a turnaround !

[nopackdrill]

@Vithification Morozevich has film star looks so maybe she swoons when she plays him, psychologically wants to be dominated? speculating ofc but not in a ridiculous way- say so as a big Judit fan who at the height of her powers, beginning around this time, mid 90s, was a member of the super elite cub. a woman of extraordinary and unprecedented powers, still up there battling the world's elite, higher rated than Nigel as a matter of fact who she has a 12-3 score against i think

@TheReverseCoder At his best, Short was better than Polgar at her best. But there wasn't that much in it.

@ChessNoir Oh, I just thought; "New York 1994" was the number of the world population after a governmental discovery of new life goes wrong in the year 2348 A.A.C (After Alien Contact)

0:25 and further on... this was 17 years ago - still shows one of the best camera angles of all chess videos on youtube. all of you digital age kids, learn how chess videos are made! no hands, arms, hair, logos, bottles in the way, no camera shaking, clear view of the board AND the clock...

@Vithification That is because there are a lot fewer woman who are introduced to chess. The amount of male players is much larger therefore they should have the better players. They have a larger group in which to find talent.

[lopytube]
