In September 2002, in the Russia versus the Rest of the World Match, Polgár finally defeated Garry Kasparov in a game. The tournament was played under rapid rules with 25 minutes per game and a 10 second bonus per move. She won the game with exceptional positional play. Kasparov with black chose the Berlin Defence instead of his usual Sicilian and Polgár proceeded with a line which Kasparov has used himself. Polgár was able to attack with her rooks on Kasparov's king which was still in the centre of the board and when he was two pawns down, Kasparov resigned. The game helped the World team win the match 52–48. Upon resigning, Kasparov immediately left by a passageway barred to journalists and photographers. Kasparov had once described Polgár as a "circus puppet" and asserted that women chess players should stick to having children. Polgár called the game, "One of the most remarkable moments of my career. Polgár thus became one of the players who have beaten Kasparov. The game was historic as it was the first time in chess history that a female player beat the world's No. 1 player in competitive play.

I am worried about the impressionable young teenaged girls on this website and in particular, my groups. I have seen many leave suddenly without explanation. True, most could be for personal reasons, but I suspect at least a couple from men with this sort of behavior. Now I find out you people wish to "warn" him? Lose just one girl and you have kept a bad member over a good one. Lose just two girls and you are starting to lose money, more so if this guy is not a paying member. Usually such men do not pay money because they expect slap on the wrists and eventual banishment, but not before they have come here to do what they wanted to do. I may or may not stay at this website considering the policies you people set forth. You ignore written evidence and do much too little. And I am a paying member.

Judit Polgar is undoubtedly the strongest female chess player in history. A chess prodigy along with her sisters, Polgar once held the record for the youngest player to attain the Grandmaster title -- among men or women. Her aggressive, tactical style has made her a fan favorite, and she has shown a willingness to play the moves that she thinks will be most difficult for her opponent's style of play rather than the objectively "best" move. Polgar has consistently played in open events rather than events exclusively for women, and has been ranked as high as 8th in the world. The Only chess Queen is Judit Polgár (born 23 July 1976) is a Hungarian chess grandmaster. She is by far the strongest female chess player in history. In 1991, Polgár achieved the title of Grandmaster at the age of 15 years and 4 months, the youngest person ever to do so at that time. Polgár was ranked number 36 in the world on the July 2012 FIDE rating list with an Elo rating of 2709, the only woman on FIDE's Top 100 Players list, Polgár is the only woman to have won a game from a current world number one player, and has defeated nine current or former world champions in either rapid or classical chess: Anatoli Karpov, Garry Kasparov, Boris Spassky, Vasily Smyslov, Veselin Topalov, Viswanathan Anand, Ruslan Ponomariov, Alexander Khalifman, and Rustam Kasimdzhanov.

Ok let me share something of special happened in my life. In july 2011 I was in vacation in Vienna and checking the site of austrian federation I discovered that just in that period it was scheduled a visit of Judit in Vienna the 10th of july in occasion of the inauguaration of a place dedicated to the great player Spielmann, the Spielmann platz. She played in the occasion a simul against 22 players and I managed to participate. I'll bring that day forever in my heart. Of course I lost but I like to share my game with you. I still have the score and made cover it with transparent plastic so it will never get damaged.

This is one of the many Judit spectacular games. It was played against Short in New York in 1994 when she was 18 years old. She managed to pass from a lost game to win it. The video is very beautiful and instructive. Enjoy it. http://youtu.be/s0ZhsY_KmoI
