Mar-07-06   blingice: Notice that in the first 11 black moves, 10 of them were pawn moves. After this, Polgar has three pieces developed. This likely was the larger factor in the win.

  OhioChessFan: <What about 20...Nf6? >

I found this 3 years later, <Drukenknight> and 21 Bxe5 looks good.

Mar-05-07   Tomish: Talk about a high-risk Hungarian Attack! Even when Judit has lost few pieces more than Vishy she remains constantly dangerous! I wish she was playing in more tournaments!!
Jul-30-07   inthestepsofTal: She smashed Kasimdjanov in the very same variation in San Luis with Bxd4 instead of Bd2
Jul-07-09   weary willy: Ah! A USA-oriented pun that I've understood. Isn't that TV programme a hoot!? Are the cases real - not actors?! Why do the people allow themselves to be filmed? Couldn't they get on Mr Springer's Freak Circus?
Jul-07-09   backrank: I thought the pun referred to the Bible.
Jul-07-09   SimonWebbsTiger: this entire amazing variation - the Perenyi Attack - has been covered in two articles by Tibor Karolyi in New in Chess Yearbooks 90 and 91. The tactics are amazing and, what's more, the judgement anno 2009 is it is perfectly playable for white!

  Viewer Deluxe: Some really deep analyses by Alexander Khalifman can be found here http://chesstuff.blogspot.com/2008/...
Jul-07-09   Bobsterman3000: Judge Judy is a crazy, cranky, irrational old TV judge that hollers at everyone. Her disposition reminds me of Korchnoi :-)
Jul-07-09   sneaky pete: What I remember is that after handing out the sentence, she used to order the bailiff to <Bring in the Dancing Rooks>.
Jul-07-09   Samagonka: Quite amazing how Polgar moves her pieces - looks chaotic but turns out to be a hard hit.

  kevin86: The forking of two rooks by a bishop at move 31 makes a pretty picture!
Jul-07-09   lzromeu: <Notice that in the first 11 black moves, 10 of them were pawn moves.> Indeed
Anand Castle and pin your own Bishop.
In 19 he isolate your own Queen to avoid the error and mate, and never more move the Queen.
Jul-07-09   chesssantosh: too complex game.i did not understand anything.why both of them did not accept the offer?
Jul-07-09   cydmd: From the site http://www.mychess.com, Vishy made a last move (34... Kf8) before resigning. Which score is correct?
Jul-07-09   WhiteRook48: of the first 11 moves, 10 of Anand's were pawns
Jul-07-09   Judah: Here's the one game I could find in the database where Black opts to immediately save the Knight. White's attack looks pretty dangerous for a while, but Black wins that game.

  zanshin: <weary willy: Why do the people allow themselves to be filmed?>

I believe that money would do it. All judgements are paid by the producers, so even if you lose, somebody else pays. Speaking of pay, Judge Judy does alright with an annual salary of $45M from the show alone: http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/53...

Jul-07-09   randomsac: Perhaps castling wasn't such a good idea, since the king was exposed.

  OneArmedScissor: What happens if <10. ...Nd7>? I've always wondered that in this opening.

  JG27Pyth: A stunning game. GM chess to make us ordinary players sigh, shake our heads, and review the game slowly with our computer chess engines revved up. Can we call this Neo-Romantic chess? Polgar plays Morphy to Anand's Anderssen. What it really reminds me of is Lasker v Pillsbury.

  severus6: I actually used the same pun in the contest for a different game with the same two opponents; but this game's better for the pun than the one I used; nice job :-)
