0:10 actually it’s not 125 wins in a row, it’s an undefeated streak which means draws are involved in the streak (which happens a lot in top level games)
Ok, in this arena, using “women’s chess” is stupidly redundant. No study that has definitively asserted that women fair worse at aptitudes used in chess hasn’t been challenged by another study that affirms the opposite.
The brain can be vulnerably neuroplastic, and it’s wiser to tell girls and boys that there isn’t a known difference when it comes to purely cerebral activities like chess than to tell them that there is, because not only would you be perpetuating a lie, but you’d also foster self-doubt in girls around things like chess (which puts an anxiety barrier up between them and actually getting good at this skill), as well as foster a sexist bias in boys against girls.
Which is, frankly, very fucking stupid and criminally wasteful of human potential.
If some swear that there is an overall difference between the sexes in chess, then not only is it scientifically contested, but it can’t be a true measurement of true capability, only a perceived difference in the tainted sample in the experiment that is society. If you’re told you can’t, you probably won’t. Little girls knowing there is a separate section just for them, and hearing that boys are better at it than they are, will have their self-confidence in chess stunted very early on- and that is strong enough (believe it or fucking not) to produce the overall difference too many swear exists innately.
so 100% magnus remembers that game he played against her and knows her, so he's not underestimating her. really fucking hate the whole "omg a woman is playing chess shes so smart and amazing" underlining theme here. its just chess, doesn't matter if you have a dick or not.
Look at their body language at the beginning. Magnus is bored and seemingly uninterested while judit is at full attention and potentially even prepped for this moment. Magnus essentially lowered his guard and was got
I wanted to see a match between Polgar and Hou Yifan. However, if they played today, Yifan would have the advantage since she is active while Polgar has retired. Carlsen probably didn't put in total effort since he perhaps didn't mind if she won.
Wait?! Do they really have separate gender leagues for chess ?!? lol That his most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Plus. its kind of sexist to do that woman. Wow. I can't belive there isn't "outrage" over that. There is NO physical requirements that would give a male an advantage over a female in the game of chess, right?
So… she beat the world champion. That makes HER the world champion, and the best chess player in the world. Not the best “female player.” The best PLAYER. Full stop.
"This is a 3 minute blitz match, so the stakes are extremely high".
That's the format, not the stakes.

Sounds like the guy who is always narrating those trashy A&E shows lol
Dude I saw that position before you called it and I said DAMN
Best ever? Not a chance
125 wins in a row? Nonsense. Maybe 125 “non-defeats”.
Nice to see Magnus pulling a Botez Gambit
I am pretty sure he doesn't underestimate his opponent. He knows very well that Polgar is extremely strong.
"He's even won 125 games in a row without losing a single time". Bwahahaha
Me when I blunder: *throws TV*
Magnus when he blunders: *smiles and shakes hands*
great video but please stop switching the overview or taking it away, it's just annoying
I learnt how to play chess in 20min, now i can't stop watching how to elvate my play style
I don't understand why men and women have different ranking systems.
Wonder if the character on the queens gambit was based on her, do we know?.
I wish everyone narrated chess like this. He made it exciting!
The MS Sam "commentary" is extremely annoying and adds nothing to the video as you explain nothing with it. Saddest try to farm chess views.
Feels like watching a National Geographic Animal Kingdom documentary. Thanks to the excellent narrator. 😊👍
He won 125 games in a row, without losing a single time. No shit.
obviously the woman had some sort of assistive rectal device
Neither Magnus nor Judith have ever won a game against me, period.
Everyone has a Bad day 😊
Is this the woman the Netflix series was based on? I think"The Queen's Gambit" was the name of it.

Does this make her the world champ now?

As a total beginner I could probably beat him.

Carlsen probably didn't put in total effort since he perhaps didn't mind if she won.
She didn't even use lube before getting all in in his azz
From 4:35 the board isn’t updated correctly
Specifying that she is a woman applies perfectly to sports, not to chess. Not sure why there should be a qualifier in chess to be honest…
Did he not recognize her?
And Then…….
I’ve heard of Judith Polgar way before Magnus Carlsen.
Hence proved. No body can understand Women!
She looked 33 yrs old in 1991 not 15…Lol…
can anyone explain to me why magnus didn't defend the knight with bishop to F3?
Man this would be great with their banter in place of the narration

She's amazing!
wow this was some really intense match … the pros really know how to give a good show 🙂 and you give really good commentary
So… she beat the world champion. That makes HER the world champion, and the best chess player in the world. Not the best “female player.” The best PLAYER. Full stop.
I'm starting to think this guy is sponsored by the 4 squares in the middle of the board 😅
Why are there rankings specific to gender? There are no physical advantages in this game?
I’d actually be interested to see these people play Deep Blue.

The narrator tries to make Magnus seem overconfident and cocky. He knew he was playing someone who could beat him, and he was having fun.
Hol vagytok magyarok
All chess matches should be commentated this way. Nice job making it interesting!
Rare to see a women smart enough to play a decent game of chess
*Writing revenge plan
That was spectacular
