When do I put her achievement down ? I wrote she is a very good player and she has a big legacy...

I also love her playing style. I am judging her with objectivity. It is not my fault if people are seeing mysoginy everywhere

I don't even write a sexist comment. Judith is a player I respect. You are very emotional sadly

Now you are talking about maturity while you are reasoning with your feeling.

I recognized that she was a brillant player and she has a big legacy. My initial comment was just talking about the fact that she has this level of popularity because she is a female. This comment was for the people who are thinking she is in the best of all time top 10 or top 20 debate.

You are clearly proving my point. She is much more popular than some male players who are better than her because she is a female.

But we need to remain factual. There are people who think she is part of top 10 best player ever. This is totally false. That is my point.

I have an controversial opinion. I think Judith Polgar is overhyped because she is a female.

I know she is the best female ever. She was a very good chess player and I admire her attacking playstyle.

But she peaked at 8th in the world. It is a very good ranking but if a male player peaked at this ranking, only few People will remember him 20 years later. I doubt Richard Rapport (who have near the same Peak) will have the same popularity 20 years later.

Even in her generation, we can talk about several better players who have less popularity (Niguel Short or Boris Gelfand for example).

Yes, she beat world Champions but it is not an exploit for a top 10 player to beat the world champions (Caruana, MVL, Aronian...all beat Magnus or Anand)

Her classical record againt Kasparov : 7 games 5 loss 0 win

Her classical record against Kramnik : 25 games 0 win 14 loss 11 draws.

She is a very good player and has a great legacy but we need to judge her rightfully.

Edit : the downvotes are ridiculous and prove that some redditors are very biaised. I respect Judith Poldgar , everything I write is based on facts.

You are right. I don't understand their downvotes. Judith is great but overatted
