Women are growing! That fool being thats our slave is growing evenmore evermore! We must stop them with hard work family nonsenses and we must protect lil magnus from their quiet positional style. That style is perfect so we must lose them into the tac tic world abbyss
Can any woman chess player beat magnus?
Sort:
Rarely and those were one off anomalies.
He's just superhuman. At least when not tilted.

No no...wear a watch and act suspicious. Pretend to be receiving signals throughout the game. Mutter to yourself about how you're just going to go to the bathroom to consult an engine.
I sympathize with him and it's a real issue but he should have complained privately. Unfair to smear Suleymanov who probably just made an honest mistake and forgot to take off his watch.

Judit Polgar beat Garry Kasparov. Actually, she should have beaten him twice. He cheated in a previous game by picking up a knight after he had already moved and changing the move to a different square ... but can you imagine the hoopla if a woman had called the two-decade world champion a cheater??? It would have been the Hans Niemann saga raised to the power of 1000.
Judit peaked at 8th in the world (i.e. she had 7 men ranked higher than her). And she was an incredible attacker. Seriously good chess player.
I thought it was an honest mistake where he briefly touched a piece and changed his mind?

That wasn't a very serious game. As for real tournaments, he obviously lost to some female players when he was doing his rating climb as a kid, but I'm not sure if Magnus had ever lost to a female chess player after he became a world champion. The current top rated female GM, Hou Yifan lost 5 classical games against Magnus and only got to draw one.
I think this is correct. He's only lost to about 20 players in Classical OTB tournaments, since becoming World Champion.
No. Hou Yifan played 8 games against Magnus Carlsen: 7 losses and 1 draw.

You can see 17 year old Judit turning to look for an adjudicator and then deciding it would only bring her pain.
There's a line from The Usual Suspects, 'How do you shoot The Devil in the back? What happens if you miss?'. Now I'm not calling Kasparov The Devil, overall he seems like a pretty nice guy, even though he clearly cheated in this instance. But this is the kind of conundrum she faced in the moment.
...ugh. That sucks.

You have a tendency to use anecdotal evidence as universal fact. Even by that metric, this is ridiculous.

Any woman player can beat Carlsen. A well-trained animal could beat Carlsen. That's far from saying they will.
That being said, although not everyone can beat the best player in the world, the one who beats the best player in the world could be anyone.
I know Judit did once. Granted it was a casual game and he wasn't trying that hard but I don't think she was either...they were just having some fun.

More than a decade before that (I think in 2010) when Judit was still active and Magnus was not yet World champion, they played a rapid match. Judit beat Magnus twice (and Magnus won 4 times).

Has magnus even played a woman in classical otb within the last 3 years?
Judit Polgar beat Magnus
I agree with the question.
