Judit Polgar's FREAKISH Attack vs the French Winawer

I would like to see a game analyzed, where the black side wins during French defense, because it never seems to happen for some reason.

Many thanks for bringing more Judit! So many fantastic games.

Fischer: "The Winawer is antipositional and weakens the kingside." Polgar: "Noted."

6:47 "This doesn't have a name..." GOOD! I like to call it.... a rook move.

Excellent game by Judit, please upload more of this Judit´s saga. Take care, bye!

Fantastic play by Judit. Thank you for sharing that game. You make it so clear with your going over every combination.

Jerry is an excellent analyst, and he has a soothing voice.

Brilliant game! I've been looking for an answer to the French Defense and the Winawer is one of the variations that I'm most interested in. This game was very educational. Thanks Jerry!

Wow, just, wow! I am a huge Judit Polgar fan and have never heard or viewed this game. Judit was like a surgeon doing delicate eye surgery in this game. And kudos to you Jerry, you made this a tutorial for the ages. Her Rg1 blew me away which you explaine to (chef's kiss)! Thank you again!

Heck yeah! -- As a side note, you going over all these games makes me miss the times when I used to do that. At least today I don't have to do it from random library books :P

I really enjoyed and learned from your numerous side notes. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing!

Great vid

Great game

My favorite move in this game was Rag1. My instinct, even when pressing an attack, is to resolve whatever counter my opponent is pressing, assuming I've planned properly for it, and then continue when they have to concede the tempo back. I'd have resolved d4 somehow, just out of habit. You take my defended my pawn? I take back. This is such an illustrative lesson, though, and the reason I seek out Judit's games over many others. Her attacking instincts are so good! It's good to be reminded that you don't have to care about any material imbalance if your destination is checkmate. Forget the pawn? Give your opponent all the pawns they want if you are ending the game in a few more moves.

In response to the line where black moves pawn to c4 to kick bishop, why not just ignore the bishop threat and go knight g5. Mate threat with Qh7, black defends with pawn h6. White forks queen on e6 and black falls apart from there. The actual move in the game, black knight to b6, avoided all of that and is a much better move than just eyeing c4.

Very impressive attact, at 14!

Those rook moves at the end made for such a clean finish
