Podcast appearances and mentions of judit polgar

JulesGambit is a popular Twitch streamer and YouTuber who rediscovered chess while at university and has seen rapid growth in her rating and her online following. Jules joined me shortly after competing in the BotezChessCamp, a unique tournament where she lived in a house with other female chess stars like the Botezes and Anna Cramling and competed in a tournament. Jules was the lowest-rated entrant, but gained rating and drew 2-time US Women's Champ Jennifer Yu in a classical game. This incredible result comes on the heels of a 2 year period where she has taken her rating from 1000 USCF to around 1800. In our conversation, we discuss the keys to Jules' progress, the story behind the BotezChessCamp and what Jules plans to study next as she turns her attention to chess full-time. Jules is quick to credit many well-known chess players for helping fuel her growth as chess player, student and presenter, and it was inspiring to hear someone so motivated to continue her chess growth.  Thanks to our sponsors Chessable.com. My new course, Identifying Critical Moments in Chess is one of the many new offerings worth checking out.  If you sign up for Chessable pro, please use the following link to help support Perpetual Chess: https://www.chessable.com/pro/?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=benjohnson&utm_campaign=pro 2:00- Jules joins the show.

Mit Xylophon und Vibraphon hat alles angefangen. Unterdessen liebt und spielt sie auch viele noch seltenere Instrumente – mit Schlägeln oder mit blosser Hand: Die Rede ist von Izabella Effenberg. Die polnische Musikerin ist in klassischem Schlagwerk und als Jazz-Vibraphonistin ausgebildet. Izabelle Effenberg bewegt sich locker zwischen beiden Welten. Davon zeugt auch ihre neue Doppel-CD: «Impressions in colours» heisst sie. Die Stücke darauf hat sie selber komponiert. Sie ist eine der wenigen Jazzvibraphonistinnen in Europa und die allererste Vibraphonistin aus Polen. Yvonn Scherrer hat Izabella Effenberg vor einem Konzert getroffen und mit ihr über ihre Klangwelt und ihre Musik gesprochen. [03:55] Aktuell: Eine junge Dirigentin Frau wühlt Italiens kulturpolitische Gemüter auf: Beatrice Venezia wird von den italienischen Medien als «internationaler Star» bezeichnet.

This week on the podcast we delve into the topic of how to teach chess to kids who are new to the game.

Voltamos com mais um episódio do Escuta Essa, podcast semanal em que Denis e Danilo trocam histórias de cair o queixo e de explodir os miolos. Todas as quartas-feiras, no seu agregador de podcasts favorito, é a vez de um contar um causo para o outro. Neste episódio Denis nos conta sobre a luta de uma garota para poder jogar com os garotos. Não deixe de enviar os episódios do Escuta Essa para aquela pessoa com quem você também gosta de compartilhar histórias e aproveite para mandar seus comentários e perguntas no Spotify, nas redes sociais @escutaessapod, ou no e-mail escutaessa@aded.studio. A gente sempre lê mensagens no final de cada episódio! ... NESTE EPISÓDIO - Justine Blainey levou sua vontade de jogar hockey com os garotos até a Suprema Corte. - Hockey segue sendo considerado o esporte nacional do Canadá e ainda é o mais popular do país, mas estudos mostram que ele já não é unanimidade e perde espaço cada vez mais rapidamente para basquete e futebol. - Hockey é um esporte bastante físico. - Fran Rider faz parte do Hall da Fama da Federação Internacional de Hockey no Gelo, é uma das fundadoras da Associação Feminina de Hockey de Ontario e foi abertamente contrária à tentativa de Blainey de jogar com os garotos. - No xadrez as mulheres podem receber títulos e competir em torneios exclusivamente femininos, mas também podem, caso desejado, ganhar títulos e competir em torneios "absolutos", ou seja, que incluem homens e mulheres. - As irmãs Polgar (Judit, Susan e Sofia) foram treinadas desde a infância por seu pai Lázlo Polgar. Judit Polgar se tornou na época a mais jovem jogadora a receber o título de Grande Mestre, aos 15 anos de idade, um mês mais cedo do que o lendário ex-campeão mundial Bobby Fischer. Em 2002, Judit alcançou o oitavo lugar no Mundial de Xadrez absoluto, ou seja, com homens e mulheres participando. - A "Batalha dos Sexos" (Battle of the Sexes) foi uma partida de tênis disputada em 1973 entre Billie Jean King e o então aposentado Bobby Riggs. A partida inspirou um filme em 2017 com Emma Stone, chamado igualmente "Battle of the Sexes". - As irmãs Venus e Serena Williams (que já ocuparam simultaneamente o número 1 e 2 no ranking de tênis feminino, e em momentos diferentes foram ambas número 1 tanto no tênis simples quanto em duplas) foram treinadas por seu pai, Richard Williams, desde os 4 anos e meio de idade. ...

Für mich ist es eine Premiere: Zum ersten Mal nehme ich am Podcast Roulette teil. Mein Losglück fiel auf einen sehr versierten Gesprächspartner, Steffen Wrede vom Podcast "Neues aus der Podcastszene (NAPS). Das Motto der Folge lautet "3 Persönlichkeiten, die du gerne zum Essen einladen würdest". Natürlich frage ich Steffen aber auch, ob er Schach spielt. Und er fordert mich auch mit spannenden Schachfragen heraus wie zum Beispiel, warum Frauen und Männer im Schach (manchmal) getrennt voneinander spielen. Wir sprechen aber auch über weitere Themen wie illegale Graffiti, Agadmators Hund (!), die Rettung der Weltmeere und Marzipan. Wie das alles zusammenpasst, das erfahrt Ihr natürlich wie immer nur, wenn Ihr zuhört :-) Episodenlinks: ♕ Podcast „Neues aus der Podcastszene“ (NAPS) ♕ Podcast „Podcast Roulette“ ♕ Agadmators Schach-YouTube-Kanal ♕ The Ocean Cleanup ♕ Stanislaw Petrow ♕ Podcast-Empfehlungen Social Media Marketing Podcast mit Björn Tantau und Facebook-Marketing leicht gemacht mit Katrin Hill

The Perpetual Chess Book Review Series Chess Books Recaptured  returns to discuss the award winning book, San Luis 2005 by GM Alik Gershon and Igor Nor. San Luis 2005 chronicles a crucial tournament in modern chess history, a double round robin whose winner determined the FIDE World Champion. The tournament featured nearly all of the top players of the time including GM Viswanathan Anand, Judit Polgar, Peter Svidler, and the winner, GM Veselin Topalov. As we discuss, GM Vladimir Kramnik was conspicuously absent, as he was already champion of a competing World Championship Faction that was originally founded by GM Garry Kasparov. Kramnik ultimately played the winner of this tournament in a 2006 Championship reunification match.    My guest co-host is Dr. Christopher Chabris, a renowned author, cognitive scientist and USCF Master. As Christopher and I discuss, it is a beautiful book with lucid prose and great photos and game analysis. The tournament it covers did not have a suspenseful ending, but it did contain some drama in the form of cheating accusations that were lodged against the tournament winner. As we discuss, these unproven accusations have a lot of parallels to the Carlsen-Niemann scandal. We also discuss why tournament books “don't sell” and compare this book to other classic tournament books like Zurich 1953. Lastly, I catch up a bit with Dr. Chabris on his OTB tournament plans, and his forthcoming book  Nobody's Fool: Why we Get Taken in and What we Can do about it. As always, timestamps and links for topics discussed can be found below.  Prior appearances by Dr. Christopher Chabris: Episode 95 with Christopher Chabris  Episode 187 with Christopher Chabris  Book Recap #4: Think Like a Grandmaster by Kotov  Book Recap #15: Secrets of Practical Chess and Attack the Strongpoint  Book Recap #25 (Mammoth Games)  02:00- Why did we choose San Luis 2005?

Judit Polgár is a retired Hungarian chess player. She is considered the best female chess player in history. In 1991 she won the International Grand Master title at the age of 15 years and four months, thus becoming the youngest person to obtain that title at the time and breaking the record previously held by former World Champion Bobby Fischer. Polgár is the only woman to have made it into the top ten chess players in the world rankings. She was the number one woman in the world from January 1989 until her retirement on August 13, 2014. Polgár is the only woman to have won a match against a reigning world number-one player, and has beaten eleven current or previous world champions in fast or classic chess.

Where do we learn - beyond the four walls of a classroom? Well, Judit Polgar believes it is the black and white checkered board, with kings, knights, and queens. Born in 1967, Budapest, Hungary, Judit grew up playing chess with her three other sisters and family from the age of four. At the age of 15, Judit became the youngest to achieve the title of Grandmaster in chess. In this episode, we hear how the only female player in chess history made it to the top 10 in the men's (open) world rankings, and talk about her unrivaled achievements and the responsibility she has embraced through playing chess. This podcast is by Expo 2020 Dubai’s Programme for People and Planet, and produced by Kerning Cultures Network.

To kick off a new season of Seneca's 100 Women to Hear, we interview the greatest female chess player of all time, Judit Polgar. Her achievements go beyond gender lines; she's beaten many of the top male players, including Gary Kasparov and Boris Spassky. A Grandmaster since age 15, Polgar stood up to naysayers who didn't think a girl could reach the heights of chess. Now she's encouraging girls and boys to get in the game.

This episode of WESPOD hosts Judit Polgar, the strongest female chess player of all time. In this engaging interview, Polgar discusses the Queen's Gambit, growing up as a chess prodigy, the advent of AI. Whether you're a chess enthusiast or are completely unfamiliar with the sport, her thoughts on the connections between chess and politics, and how AI has changed chess training and perceptions, remain both unique and fascinating. Polgar's professional career is hard to summarize. At the age of 15, she broke the record of Bobby Fischer, by becoming the youngest international chess Grandmaster ever. Since then she has defeated several chess world champions. Most notably, in 2002, she faced Garry Kasparov, widely considered as the greatest chess player of all time. The tournament was known as “Russia against the rest of the World”, highlighting Russia's dominance at the time. Nonetheless, Polgar went on to beat Kasparov in 42 moves, becoming the first female player to do so. We hope you enjoy this episode! Don't forget to follow us for more challenging perspectives!

Sometimes art imitates life; sometimes games do too. And parallels between chess and the political arena have existed for centuries. But are there really any similarities? How was the game used as a pawn in the cold war? And could the chessboard once again become a soft-power battleground? Andrew Mueller speaks to Judit Polgar, David Edmonds, and Dana Reizniece-Ozola.

Denis Grozdanovitch livre avec «La vie rêvée du joueur d’échecs», publié aux éditions Grasset, un récit éclairé à travers une galerie de portraits sur la passion du jeu d'échecs. Au début, ils sont sages et bien alignés, face à face et sur deux rangs. Au milieu, le roi et sa dame, accompagnés de leurs fous et de quelques cavaliers au milieu des tours. Ils sont en ordre de bataille. Et soudain, ils s’animent. La partie commence. À la fin, la victoire est brillante et l’échec est mat. Jolie formule de Coluche, qui croise dans ce livre Nabokov et Kasparov, Lewis Caroll et Mikhaïl Tal, Stephan Zweig et Judit Polgar. Un essai littéraire passionné, érudit et plein d’humour, qui, loin de nous enfermer dans les 64 cases du plateau, nous invite à arpenter le grand échiquier de la vie. Après avoir disséqué la désinvolture et la bêtise ; arpenté le monde des songes, les terres d’émotions et autres extases minuscules ; après avoir raconté les nageurs, les marionnettes et les dandys, Denis Grozdanovitch nous dévoile «La vie rêvée du joueur d’échecs» publié aux éditions Grasset. Reportage : Judit Polgar a en partie inspiré l’héroïne de la mini-série américaine «Le Jeu de la Dame», qui a fait un tabac l’automne dernier sur Netflix. Une série qui a entraîné quelques vocations et qui a peut-être permis l’éclosion d’un futur cador. Amélie Beaucour est allée à la rencontre d'Andreea Navrotescu, six fois championne de France chez les jeunes.

Topschach Benny - unter diesem Namen ist Benjamin Aldag in der Schachszene bekannt. Der Inhaber des B-Trainerscheins und des Titels "AIM" arbeitet im bayerischen Gilching für den Schach-Fachhändler Topschach. "Schlau macht Schach nicht", so behauptet Aldag, "aber Schach macht Spaß". Und was sagt er zu Schachbüchern? "Schachbücher sind ein fast food Artikel geworden", so seine Meinung. Die er natürlich auch aus Händlerperspektive begründet. Wie es Benny geschafft hat, die Stars der Szene kennenzulernen, und was er mit Niclas Huschenbeth, Nigel Short und Judit Polgar zu tun hat - das und mehr erfahren wir in der 52. Schachgeflüster-Episode. Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton is known for his love of fashion and Alberto Hernandez is the man responsible for making his hats. Hernandez makes Newton a new fedora or Fez every week and tells us they began collaborating after Pharrell Williams recommended him to Newton. He breaks away from making Newton’s hat for Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans to tell us how his grandfather taught him to make hats back in Mexico, the inspiration behind his designs and why you can’t buy copies of any of Newton’s hats. He also gives us an exclusive ahead of this week’s hat being revealed. Dee Caffari is the first woman to have sailed single-handed and non-stop around the world in both directions. She tells us how people can use what she learned at sea to help themselves deal with feelings of isolation and loneliness during the covid-19 pandemic. The president of Netball South Africa – Cecilia Molokwane – joins us ahead of the three-test series against Malawi. Molokwane tells us how the covid-19 pandemic has affected netball in South Africa, where they are in their preparations for hosting the 2023 World Cup and how she feels lucky to be alive after contracting coronavirus earlier this year. Magnus Carlsen is the highest ranked chess player of all time. Ahead of playing in the new 1.5 million dollar Champions Chess Tour, he speaks to us about how long he’ll continue in chess and how he hopes the Netflix show “The Queen’s Gambit” will inspire more people to play chess. Staying with chess and in Sporting Witness - we go back to 2002 when the Hungarian prodigy Judit Polgar finally defeated World Champion Gary Kasparov at a major tournament in Spain. Kasparov had previously incensed Polgar by ridiculing the idea of women chess champions and it took her several attempts to finally beat him. And - the BBC’s tennis correspondent Russell Fuller joins us ahead of semi-finals day at the season ending ATP Finals in London and we’re at St James Park, with the BBC’s Vicki Sparks ahead of Newcastle playing Chelsea in the Premier League.

What if you could create a project to quickly learn the skills to transition to a new role, project, or even profession? What if you could learn a new language, simulate a university degree program, or become good at something that seems impossible to you right now? Well then you’ll enjoy this episode with Scott Young, author of the Wall Street Journal Best Seller, ULTRALEARNING: Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career. Ultralearning isn’t easy, just the opposite, not only is it hard, it’s frustrating and requires stretching outside the limits of where you feel comfortable. However, the things you can accomplish make it worth the effort. Scott Young is a writer, programmer, traveler, and for more than a decade has run a business focused on productivity. Scott is an avid learner and he has created some fascinating experiments, such as:  “The MIT Challenge” where he attempted to learn MIT’s 4-year computer science curriculum without taking classes, “The Year Without English,” where he attempted to learn four languages in one year, “The 30 Day Portrait Drawing Challenge” to see how much improvement he could make in drawing faces, and most recently, and fun, “Let’s Learn Quantum Mechanics.” So in this episode we discuss these challenges and other intellectual feats and what drives Scott, and of course a deep dive into his new book, which has some amazing folks saying some impressive things: James Clear of Atomic Habits fame, who also wrote the Foreword to your book, said “Ultralearning is a fascinating and inspiring read. Scott has compiled a goldmine of actionable strategies for learning anything faster.” Chris Guillebeau said: “This book is an invaluable tool to help you master complicated skills in a short period of time. Read Ultralearning and level up your life!” Cal Newport said “Ultralearning is like a superpower in our competitive economy. Read this book! It will change your life.” Derek Sivers said “A truly great book about learning. Riveting, useful, practical, and applicable to anyone ready to learn something at their own pace. Ultralearning shows you exactly how to learn better than you thought possible.” Scott discusses some of the great case studies in the book along with his own personal challenges, including those of Eric Barone, Tristan de Montebello, and Nigel Richards. His last chapter includes the wonderful story of Judit Polgar and Gary Kasparov. Scott lives his life in full, and helps others to do so as well with his book and his website’s blog and resources, which are linked in our show notes.

What does it take for a woman to excel in the ruthlessly competitive, male-dominated world of chess? Kim Chakanetsa meets two outstanding female players from Hungary and China to find out. Judit Polgar is the strongest female chess player of all time. As a child prodigy she broke Bobby Fischer's record to become the youngest grandmaster, aged 15. She went on to beat the World No 1 Garry Kasparov, after he had said women shouldn't play chess. Judit says she made a decision very early not to play in the Women's competition, because she wanted to play the best, and they were men. She remains the only woman ever to place in the top 10 players in the world, despite retiring 4 years ago. Hou Yifan is widely considered to be the best woman playing chess today. She has been the Women's World Chess Champion three times, the youngest ever to win the title, as well as the youngest female player ever to qualify for the title of grandmaster. Yifan has now decided not to play in the Women's Championship anymore. She took time out of competing to study for a degree and is about to do a Masters at Oxford University, because she believes doing other things is beneficial to her and to her chess.

GM Judit Polgar needs no introduction to the Perpetual Chess audience, but here's one anyway.  Chess legend Judit Polgar joins me this week to tell us what she has been up to since retiring from tournament chess three years ago. As Judit shares, she has been keeping busy with family, chess education initiatives, and with organizing the upcoming Global Chess Festival on October 14, 2017, in Budapest, Hungary.
