She was really good,I mean really really good. The tactic was great,but at their level kind of elementary. But the conversion was spectacular,to crush Karpov like that is not an easy thing. Viva Judith,I like her because she is also a very happy and smiling person, seems very nice person

​@@brant25I totally agree her commentaries are exceptional she sees many great moves instantly and I also agree on the mom vibes. Now especially on her conversion in this game I liked very much her move at 10:42 BB5, to open the way for the rook. Because in that position the worst piece was the knight so the first instinct would have been to improve the knight for example via b6 and d5, after you kick out the enemy queen with let's say Rc6 in order to avoid the queen trade. I haven't thought very much on these moves that I suggest but what I want to say is that her decision to move the bishop again which was great was not obvious. And her next moves were also very clinical and tactically very concrete,she exploited her iniative to the maximum. Maybe they seem obvious when you see them played and explained to you but when you have to decide OTB between these moves and others equally logical at first sight it's not so easy. And she played with 98% accuracy in a very complicated position, that's not standard or easy at all,even on SGM level. Judith was a beast!!!

When Jerry first described the game, I figured Judit would win a piece or something. Instead she gets equal material and just wins the purely positional game against Karpov of all people. What a legend.

Jerry is one of the best teachers I’ve ever listened to. Seriously.

Your remark about positional/strategic focus leaving one vulnerable to tactical blind spots is such a personal attack on me. I'll spend half my clock time thinking about what move in a position provides good strategic counterplay, optimizes the reach of my pieces, coordinates with my pawn structure, creates holes in my opponent's side of the board, etc. Then I'll play the move without realizing that I just hung my queen.

It's such a pleasure watching and listening to Jerry's annotations. No one does a better job breaking down the games so all levels of chess players can understand them, move by move.

Your 'Tale of the Tape' at the end has been a really nice touch. Keep up the good work, Jerry!

Polgar made strong grandmasters sweat!

hi Jerry, great video just wanted to say I love the moments where you stop and ask the viewer what they'd play. vewry often I wass either picking the line you said was tempting but not that strong or sometimes a strong line which made me feel happy with my own understanding. great informative video!

Hey Jerry, another great video! Not sure if you're looking for more games to analyze but game 39 in the ongoing Stockfish vs Leela TCEC superfinal was crazy, involving Stockfish losing what it considered a completely drawn middlegame position (eval at +0.13) which came from the knight sacrifice opening played in the infamous game 6 of the Kasparov/Deep Blue rematch.

I love the attacking, tactically brilliant style of Judit Polgar! She's rapidly becoming one of my all-time favorite chesss players. 🙂

That explanation about the prevention to Queen attack was very insightfull. I would much fancy just a short video with this. All the rest is of corse also great, GM 👍

'Feel free to pause the video' Now where have I heard that before? 🙂

Jerry is absolutely a legend when it comes to breaking down chess, showing us how to see the board, making chess entertaining, his soothing voice and delivery and his dry wit. Being a GM is another skill which just takes a lot of sacrifice to just study and acquire the skill to calculate and be able to focus for a long time, I really believe it should not be a end goal for a chess player. There is so much to contribute and what Jerry has been doing for me since 7 years I think its far much noble than rather him being a GM.

I think 100% means that you made the best move (according to the engine) in 100% of cases. There could be some moves (in this case 2% of them for Polgar) where you didn't play the absolute best, but the alternative you have chosen is only slightly worse, and therefore is not considered an inaccuracy.

@@eyeofhorus1301 I've not talked about mistakes. I've said that if your move is only slightly worse than the absolute best, than is considered a good move, and not an inaccuracy. If after playing a move as black you are -0.53 instead of -0.54 (after the best move) I think it's not fair to consider that an inaccuracy. I think there is a minimum centipawn loss (for example 10, or 15 or whatever it is) to consider a move an inaccuracy.
