magnus carlsen lost to the queen of chess

icilia before Polgar. He caught a white pawn in the opening, but sent the knight into a weak position at h6. Polgar stacks two heavy pieces in the semi-open column d, to attack the black king who has not yet entered the castle. In a weak position, Carlsen made a fatal mistake in the 15th move. Immediately, the 46-year-old female chess player used to threaten to catch the queen or check all. Carlsen was surprised by Polgar's move, causing him to open his mouth wide and turn his head to look at the world No. 10 player Anish Giri watching beside him. Giri also burst into applause, then pulled out her phone to take a picture of the game. But the rest of the audience was mostly unresponsive.

I have seen the video. She got a nice round of applause.

This video by Anna Cramling shows the applause better.

Judit is rated only 100 points lower than Magnus. So I'd expect her to win 2/5 games against magnus. I doubt he loses sleep over it. My brother reliably wins 2/5 games against me.

That's a nice tactic. Also it's nice to see that even world grandmasters do mistakes...

She's 200 points below him. I think at both their peaks she was about 150 points below.  

I think it's cool that all these famous players showed up in the park near the candidates tournament. 

Yeah Anna's camera shot this. When she asked a question at the candidates press conference she told them she was streaming and Radjabov (I think it was him) said "you're always streaming."  

Madrid. You too can be lucky enough to play against Magnus and likely Judit too if you fly out to Madrid during the next candidates match, or watch carefully as to where he might be next.

Thank you everyone ^^

     But he did resign before move 20 with more than 1/2 the pieces still on the board. He knew he was lost, Judit knew he was lost, Giri knew he was lost, most of the spectators knew he was lost. He did the polite thing and resigned rather than run around as quickly as possible hoping for a chance to win on time or a horrible blunder by Judit.

Win or lose, it’s refreshing to see masters still enjoying the game itself. In a park no less, without bruised egos. 

     Whatever he may have said, what he actually DID was resign a couple of moves later. When both players know the game is lost and the winning player is clearly capable of easily finishing it off, and there is plenty of time to do so, resignation is the polite thing to do. "Professional courtesy"

     But you said, and claimed he said, "NEVER resign" and still he did with plenty of time and pieces left. 

Here’s a thought. I’m in a park and find myself fortunate to sit down to a bench and play a master. I’m in a totally lost position (which wouldn’t take too long, and this is important) and look the master eye to eye and say “I don’t want to waste anymore of your time, but may I ask, at what move did I make my most egregious error?” I think either one of those shown would give me a straight and to the point answer. For which I’d be grateful, say ‘thank you for your time’,  and stroll away. I’d never forget their advice by the way.

    Bottom line: he was dead lost, knew it, joked about it with the bystanders for a couple of moves and DID indeed resign. I have NEVER said anyone should always resign and be quitters. That's just another of your endless stream of bald-faced shameful falsifications. Show us the quote.

     Whatever Magnus said, actions speak louder than words. He has resigned many times during his career in positions where a player of your (or my) capabilities might think there is plenty of play left. He does this because he knows his opponent is strong enough to cash in the win no matter what Magnus does. This in the set of circumstances in which I have said it is good sportsmanship to resign. A strong player acknowledging his opponent's achievement.

     The game on the video was blitz and he resigned in less than 20 moves with more than 1/2 the pieces left on the board. He played a couple of moves, nothing essential changed, and he still resigned. You clamor about how I am some sort of low-life (something you are apparently very familiar with as you admit you can't even follow your own advice) and just claim anyone that acts like you do is a quitter and a lemming.

As always

Isn't it cool when a dude who resigns all the time cause he sucks at the game goes on multiple tirades cause MUH MAGNUS SAID TO NEVER RESIIIIIIIGN!! Do as I say, not as I do! Typical hypocrite. And then to just blatantly attack people because they have a different opinion than you, even though that's REALLY not your opinion or you'd NEVER resign.

Jesus, dude. Now I see why this guy has such dumb takes. 2700 games on here and can't even crack 900 🤣🤣 carry on, fella.

I definitely think Kasparov and Polgar both retired too early. They could have easily played another 10-15 years of elite professional chess.

Kasparov retired because he claimed his true calling was in politics and other business ventures.

Polgar never officially retired (as far as I recall) but she took a break from her career when she got married and became pregnant with her first child, but then she gradually stopped getting invitations to tournaments as she spent more time with her family.
