For the record:
Hou has just beaten Al-Sayed Mohammed ( quite strong GM ) and she is now 58th in the world with a rating of 2681:
2500 is a "quite strong GM" now?

Hou Yifan has a long way to go before she should be compared to Judit Polgar. Let her finish in the top two or three of some major tournaments, then maybe so.

Why are you so horrible at blitz chess?
Why is Caruana so horrible in blitz?
And here's where the thread devolves into the intellectual equvilant of a monkey throwing its dung about.
Yeah, but the point is that it's not important. Every person has a right to play chess, right?
Darth&kaynight, leave us alone for a moment. I'm specialised chess.com psychologist and want to help people.
A_L_I_V_E, if you wanna write to me a longer message, you can private message me or post in the forum. Do not trash on my profile. That's really inappropriate. And stop saying lies. I don't wanna have anything to do with a liar, I prefer fool. Just that you know, thanks!
And just to let you know. Nope, you're not gonna leave notes on my wall if I'm blocked from your notes. Nope nope.

You video link reminds me of an incident I encountered in one of the islands in Thailand. There are a lot of stray dogs in Thailand.
I was there vacationing with friends and on the beaches there would be at leat 20 dogs or so just laying around without a care in the world among the sun bathers. My friends and I decided to trek along the perimeter of the Island. We came to this one point where it seemed simpler to just break into the cove of the beach through the trees and branches instead of taking the normal pathway that leads into it. I was the first one to penetrate the cove, and the minute I set foot on that sandy beach, a dog - big black, leader of the pack, I gathered - raised his head from behind a sunbather and did "grrroooof". At the sound of that, about 20 other dogs raised there heads and looked straight at me. At this point everything was going in slow motion just like in the movies just like below they came at me
There was no way I was going to outrun them. I stood frozen - erect maintaining my head as high from the ground as possible with my fists around my neck...I was surrounded in zero seconds flat, teeth snapping and growling as they jumped high up into my face, but they never touched me or bit me (the faces of the people on the beach was blue with fear but noone intervened, understandably)...I had a lucky break when in all that commotion one of the dogs landed on another dog while jumping and they started fighting...they got busy to fighting each other they forgot about me...I slowly made my way into the waters to wash off my scent and waded to the other side of the beach...
Later my friends and I realized that we should have entered the cove via the open path and not break into it through the trees...those dogs saw me as an unwanted intruder...
What makes Polgar extraordinary is the fact that she was not the best female player of the world. She was one of the best player, ranking as high as eigth at some time.
