| Koni: <pacelli: I bet ya'll if Judit were to play a set match with the World Women Champion she'd lose.> She's in a different class to Xu Yuhua - would be like Anand defending his title v Peng Xiaomin |

| pacelli: No I don't agree. She's much better than any living woman chessplayer on the planet but she'd lose. Psychologically she's not prepared to defeat a woman now. She'd feel awkward and less agressive than she'd be if playing a man. Most male chessplayers also tend to go easy on women (apart from when they play Polgar of course), even in serious tourneys. Since Polgar's accustomed to facing men,she'd be in a similar male role agst a woman, so she'd feel compelled to go easy too. Even in a title match.
<strifeknot> <rookfile> I bet ya both a thousand each if Polgar wins. |

| Riverbeast: pacelli I think a lot of people would take you up on this bet. I don't think Judit would 'take it easy' on women because certain men do...Other men go all out against women, because they hate to lose to them...Kasparov allegedly went so far as to 'jadoube' a piece that he accidentally touched in one of the games against her. Frankly, I think just the opposite - Judit would put some serious heat on those women, to prove that she is the undisputed 'queen'. |

| pacelli: Well we don't have to agree, mates! Just an opinion. |

| lostemperor: <Karpova><This is quite strange - what kind of Worldchampionship title did Judit ever earn?> well I think the organisation meant that she is the best woman. And since she has been the best for over 15 years now we shouldn't be nitpicking about paper titles ;-), But for the record, I checked Susan Polgar book "Breaking Through" Judit has won three World titles though. The world youth Under-12 and Under-14 Championship, what was for both genders! In 1995 she won the world's first (if not only) lightning (2 minutes) championship together with Karpov, whom she beat in the play-offs. What is even more impressive is her match win over Karpov in a rapid match in 1998, when Karpov was still the official FIDE world champion I believe. It is said Zhu Chen was the first woman to beat a reigning world champion (Ruslan Ponomariov in 2002). I think we must set that record straight and say that Judit was earlier. This event was even more impressive if you take into account that Karpov beat Kasparov in a rapid match in 2002. |

| Troller: <What is even more impressive is her match win over Karpov in a rapid match in 1998> This is impressive indeed; Karpov was (is?) a formidable rapid player, in the 90's maybe second only to Anand. As for the ongoing tournament, it will be interesting to see if she can - once again - take down Topalov in one or two games. |

| lostemperor: I noticed I missed that Judit Polgar also won the Under-16 rapid World Championship in 1988 when she was only 12. The adult section was won by Karpov. |

| Marvol: <Troller: As for the ongoing tournament, it will be interesting to see if she can - once again - take down Topalov in one or two games.> You asked for it!
Topalov vs Judit Polgar, 2007
Nice premonition you had there.
To be included in the upcoming Everyman Chess's 'Winning with the Petroff'. |

| nikolajewitsch: She has done very well with Black so far, two wins vs. 1 loss with white. If she can continue this (mini) streak and beat Pono tomorrow with black, I think she has a fair chance of winning the tournament. |

| Karpova: Interview with her:
http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
<How would you define your game style?> I am known to be a very aggressive player, an attacker. It’s more difficult to be one when playing black, but I try to develop that aspect with them too. <Do you identify yourself with any particular chess piece?> The knight is my favourite.
<Are glances in chess really as important as they say?> To me, chess is a psycological game and glances are a part of this personal game. But I don’t think they have the importance everybody keeps trying to give them. <You have fullfilled many of your goals from getting into the world’s top ten to defeating players like Kasparov. What are your aims now?> From a personal point of view, my goal is to raise my children so that they can be happy, successful and take care of themselves in the future. To support them all the way. Whatever they do, their mother will always be there for them. From a professional point of view, now that I have a family I choose the tournaments I play in, why and against who a lot more. I want to play chess while I’m still fascinated by it. The moment I stop having fun, I will quit this. |

| ahmadov: I always believed that there is a link between chess and life... Judit helped me to understand better: <Yes, I think that playing chess can be a good way of training your mind to face everyday life. Playing chess has many aspects that can be useful in everyday situations like planning, concentration and combinations. You learn to win but also to lose and to be creative.> |
