Ivanchuk is big patzer.
Dear Judit, good luck with the boys, you toss them around as if they were toys, now lets win some games, yes, against those big chess names.
Vasilly’s pieces really look silly in the end position, don’t they?
wow is unbelievable how judit put so much pressure rook n bishop put on g pawn white cant move rook away or king wow go judit goodluck rest of tournament u derseve to win
Wow!, thats funny Susan, Chucky knew he was worse after 28.qd8 but he goes for the cheap chess hahahaha. cuz she havent been playin, what a joke theses guys are! hehehe. I like the way she threw the horse in his face! haha. Susan “im confused” does it seems like i need to ask Kaparov anything about chess? hehe.
this is y judit is so feared she fights till end she afraid of no1 in chess competition fites till end just when sometime seems she may lose or get in trouble she somehow finds way to escape then turn it ard to her advantage she showed them all y women should compete against men for title once again y she top female player perhaps goodluck go judit please dont ever stop playing im such a big fan of urs best wishes
A good and impressive result performance by Judit.
I officially propose that all game not ending in 40 moves be declared as 0-1.
I am glad to see Judit playing again, and holding her own against powerful players like Ivanchuk. He is dangerous, but her great positional skills allowed her to equalize. I like the way she took risks and fought for the white squares, particularly d5.
Kamalakanta
Good luck, Judit. You almost had him!
Judit will get up to 2750 within 18 months
Why are you all treating Judit as an underdog? She’s just as strong as anybody else.
That said, I’ve an unrelated question. How come top-level chess players are all dressed up (business suits) all the time? Take Topalov, or Kasparov, or Karpov, or Fischer, or Judit. Somehow, given the kind of endevour chess is, I’d think people would be all worked up in analysis rooms, with bad hair, and dressed like Ben Feingold! 🙂
Sorry Ben, just kidding.
‘Why are you all treating Judit as an underdog? She’s just as strong as anybody else.’
She’s just as weak as anybody else?
Tiviakov is big patzer.
