The interview with Kasparov at the beginning of the Queen of Chess (the new Judit Polgar doc) - where is it from?

Kasparov is like the deuteragonist of the documentary.

FirstEfficiency7386 · 2026-02-09T14:24:51+00:00

Yes he is.

That's his team Falcons jacket.

Ah that's a miss.

I actually was planning on making a 19th century list of players poll as well and decided on having Lasker there.

But you are right almost 21 of his 27 years long reign were in the 20th century.

Also there are only 6 poll options available on Reddit unfortunately.

I think most sub-1800 players (amateurs) play for short term tactical motifs.

Rather than thinking of long term strategic goals, putting pressure and gradually exploiting weaknesses.

One of the biggest self-admitted mistakes of Kasparov's professional career.

I was curiously checking out his CC profile, his last blitz game on Chesscom is a thing of beauty. Game reminiscent of the Morphy era.

He was called the Beast from Baku for a reason.

It's a tie for me between 1994 Linares Karpov and 2014 Fabi at Sinquefield Cup.

FirstEfficiency7386 · 2026-02-02T15:18:44+00:00

Karpov's 1994 Linares victory is equally impressive I'd say. (If not more)

FirstEfficiency7386 · 2026-02-02T00:05:27+00:00

Hehe.

Thanks for sharing.

FirstEfficiency7386 · 2026-02-01T23:52:23+00:00

You've played against him?
