| Sep-09-02 | | refutor: has anyone seen kasparov get beaten this badly? i'm not one to brag, but polgar used the same line i do vs the berlin (Rd1+) i wonder why kasparov never used that in the match v. kramnik? |

 | | Honza Cervenka: Judit beat Kasparov very badly in this game altough she had missed some (probably) better moves. Why not 24.e6 instead of 24.Bf4? |
|
| Sep-09-02 | | refutor: good point, i overlooked that when looking through the game. 24.e6 makes the bishop the most useless piece on the board. is there a tactical refutation to that? i don't have fritz handy |
|
| Sep-09-02 | | burntmycouch: 24.e6 BxN 25.gxB Bd6+ seems like it helps black gain tempo, and allows black to castle next turn, really slowing White's game down. |
|

| | Honza Cervenka: Burntmycouch, you are probably right. 24.e6 Bxf5 25.gxf5 Bd6+ 26.Kf3 Ke7 27.Rg1 Rg8 or Rah8 seems to be sufficient for black to keep his position. |

 | | Sneaky: This game has made US national news. I love it! <Polgar shows up KasparovHungarian wonder woman Judit Polgar outsmarted world No. 1 Garry Kasparov in the fifth round of the Russia vs Rest of the World team chess match in Moscow. Polgar’s sensational first-ever win against Kasparov helped the World retain a slim lead as the Russians, powered by the wins of teenager Alexander Grischuk, Alexander Morozevich and Peter Svidler, clawed their way back to a point behind their rivals, 25.5-24.5. She did it with White in a positional Ruy Lopez in which she outplayed Kasparov after he opted for the Berlin Defense, the same system with which No. 2 Vladimir Kramnik beat him in their unofficial world title fight in London nearly two years ago.> http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/abs_news... |

| Dec-30-02 | | ughaibu: I wonder if Kasparov still says her play shows feminine weaknesses? |
|
| May-10-03 | | Ezely Nakhdov: Is this the first time a champion or former champion has been defeated by a woman? |
|
| May-11-03 | | Marnoff Mirlony: I wouldn't say that Kasparov was "crushed" here. He simply lost. Big deal. |
|
| May-12-03 | | Shadout Mapes: It was the first time Kasparov ever chose this opening, perhaps he felt confident after finally breaking Kramnik's Berlin recently? |

| | Honza Cervenka: Ezely Nakhdov, it was not the first time when a women beat a world champion. Vera Menchik beat Max Euwe twice (well, both games had been played before Max Euwe became the world champion), Smyslov lost some games not only with everybody from Polgar's family but also with Pia Cramling, Nana Ioseliani, Maia Chiburdanidze, Alisa Galiamova-Ivanchuk, Xie Jun (she beat also Boris Spassky) and maybe somebody else. Of course, Polgar's family has many scalps of world champions included Karpov. Judit beat Karpov and Spassky in many games, Zsuzsa beat Karpov at least twice etc. |

| Jul-12-03 | | Benjamin Lau: Ouch, Kasparov should stick to his Sicilian. |

 | | Eggman: I didn't know that Polgar had ever beaten Kasparov! What was the time control? |
|
| Nov-14-03 | | Spitecheck: I'm pretty sure it was rapid, don't know about increments and stuff. Spitecheck |
|
| Nov-18-03 | | Kaspablanca: Time control was the new Fide time control, i think it is 1hr, 30 minutes plus 30 seconds of increment. GK is very vulnerable on this control, so vulnerable that he DID NOT ACCEPT this control to play Ponomariov in his postponed match with him. |
|
| Nov-18-03 | | rover: Kaspablanca: The 2002 Russia vs ROTW was definitely rapid time control. 25 10 or somthing very close to that. |
|
| Nov-18-03 | | Benjamin Lau: Kaspablanca, if you stopped looking at GK so negatively and looked at the controversy surrounding the Kasparov v.s. Ponomariov match more objectively, you would see that the situation was NOT as black and white as you put it. It was not completely GK's fault. See http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
There's also a lot of information on the Kasparov v.s. Ponomariov match page. |
|
| Nov-20-03 | | Kaspablanca: Benjamin Lau: I am objective. You know FIDE want Garry be world champion again at all cost, GK and FIDE dictator Iiuzhinov are runnig FIDE as it were owner of a enterprise. Besides Pono was just claiming fair treat in the match. Dont get me wrong, i just post the situation as really happens, not the way Mig Greengard say it.
I am a fan of GK as a chessplayer,but i dont apasionate of his unfair actions. |
|
| Nov-20-03 | | Spitecheck: FIDE does want Kasparov as World Champion simply because there ratings suggest he's the number one player and the worldwide media at large considers Kasparov king. Kramnik beating Kasparov in a match was a hiccup so to speak, FIDE would love to create a situation where these 2 play again but this time FIDE delegates the title and not some private corporation with little or no attachment to FIDE itself.

| Nov-20-03 | | Benjamin Lau: <GK and FIDE dictator Iiuzhinov are runnig FIDE as it were owner of a enterprise. Besides Pono was just claiming fair treat in the match> Doesn't seem like it at all to me. There were mainly only two issues left (the others were either resolved by compromise or GK conceded it to Ruslan to get the match going) that caused Ponomariov to refuse to sign the contract. 1) Ponomariov wants the player contract amended to remove any mention of the right of FIDE to replace a player who is in breach of contract or match regulations. Does this proposal make sense to you? That FIDE can't remove Ponomariov if he refuses to follow the rules? What if Ponomariov frivolously holds the title for ransom? Fair? FIDE didn't think so either, and rejected this proposal for quite obvious reasons. Argument 2) A free day was added to the original schedule to take place between the end of the 12 schedule games and a potential play-off day. Ponomariov wants this free day removed. I think that this contention is ludicrous. Wouldn’t it be better if the players had a little bit of rest in between games so that they didn’t wear out? It seems to me that Ruslan wanted to start a fight for no reason, so that he would have a way of legitimately claiming he was still “champion.” Also, contrary to your impression, documents by FIDE show that it has actually accepted a lot of proposals from FIDE champ Pono. At the same time, it has rejected almost all of GK’s proposals, who according to chessbase.com, signed his players’ agreement without any conditions whatsoever. It seems to me that Pono chickened out of the match, and since FIDE was stupid enough to pay him some prize money ahead of time (they gave him like what? $100,000? don’t remember, but it was fairly large), Pono decided enough was enough and to get out of the match. |

| Nov-20-03 | | Spitecheck: Pono didn't turn up he loses it's as simple as that. Forget about all the politics and drama, they were offering money for jam and he couldn't spare a single strawberry. Kasparov 1-Ponomariov nil. Just like Karpov 1 Fischer Nil, the precedent was set. For those wondering why Kasparov should deserve a shot at Ponomariov and not Kramnik or Tony Smith for that matter. Kasparov was the last FIDE world champion before Brain Games or PCA, GMA whatever split the game.....in there books he's the number one player, he is the bridge between then and now. His play has simply been too strong for FIDE to maintain the integrity of it's worldchampions (which includes super mariov). Spitecheck |
|
| Nov-20-03 | | shadowmaster: The rumor is that supermariov got $400,000 from Ukranian sponsors ahead of time. IMO, Pono's behavior was an ironic punishment for FIDE for the crime of deciding the FIDE title by knockout, contrary to the wishes of serious fans. They ended up getting as champ an immature kid. It's clear that the cancellation of the match was this kid's fault but it's the fault of FIDE for making the FIDE championship title into a lottery and putting mariobrothers into the title in the first place. http://www.chessbase.com/columns/co... |
|
| Nov-20-03 | | Spitecheck: Further to that Shadowmaster, FIDE organising a match between Pono and Kasparov, where Pono was clearly "making up the numbers" in their eyes can't have sit to well with Ponomariov. If he, against all odds beat Kasparov one would suspect that FIDE would have to reorganise again. If he lost on the other hand that would simply be water flowing down stream for FIDEs world chess. So aside from the money (if any), he didn't have a lot to play for. Any wonder he would look at FIDE's "offer" of a match with Kasparov as nothing more than cheese in a mouse trap. Pono is right in one thing now though, FIDE should organise a WC tournament, and all worthy players including Kasparov and Kramnik should turn up. there's your reunification. If FIDE really want to get past this thing where machines are dominating the chess news they should hope the girl on this page finds some real form and kicks any K's butt you can think of :).

| Jan-25-04 | | alexandrovm: At last Polgar won all mighty Kasparov. Her first win...between her many loses against him
Kasparov is number one! |

| Feb-04-04 | | resty: All i can say is that a real chess champion could play in any time control - and win! |
