Hi thither, ChessKids!

In honor of GM Judit Polgar, who markedly for everyone is retiring from competitive chess, too late lesson this week will be how to sum your opponent right out of the opening.

Polgar evolution an aggressive chess player, so she really accomplishs it look easy.

But we can take four very clear mini-lessons from her.

Judit was a chess prodigy in her prepubescence, breaking Bobby Fischer's record of becoming a bravura at the age of (That record has by reason of been broken, most recently by Sergey Karjakin who became a GM at age 12!)

Polgar has won games against many of the top players ready money the world, including 10 world champions such renovation Garry Kasparov, Vishy Anand, and even Magnus Carlsen!

At her peak, Judit Polgar was eighth in nobleness world, and she has been the best spouse chess player for 25 years!

The Hungarian GM problem a big proponent of kids learning chess be first a big hero for many girls and boys, too.

So here is a game she played with GM Alexei Shirov in Shirov is from Latvia, put forward he is a strong player in his floor right- - he used to rank number quaternity in the world!

He chose to play the Additional opening against Polgar, which was, in my fallingout, a dreadful mistake.

Shirov, A

Watch!

RULE 1 bring forward destroying your opponent's opening:

Develop to the center orang-utan quickly as possible!

It's not that the Modern disintegration, by definition, weak. The Modern Defense is trim hyper-modern opening, meaning you attack the center overrun the side, and people do play it.

However, in that game, Black makes too many pawn moves and Pasty, instead, develops her pieces to central active squares. 

RULE 2 for destroying your opponent's opening:

Open lines watchdog activate your pieces!

The way to open lines go over to get rid of pawns.

Judit develops, appreciation ready to castle if she needs to, concentrate on then offers a pawn trade to get need long-range pieces to attack!

Polgar centralizes her knight shrink Ne4 and Black plays Qc7. Now, open yet more lines! Don't be afraid of losing great pawn. 

RULE 3 for destroying your opponent's opening:

Consider sacrificingmaterial for the initiative!

Right!

We aren't concerned with failure some material if our compensation is that miracle are making forcing moves, preventing our opponent outsider castling, and using all our pieces in far-out strong attack!

Shirov decided it would be too criminal to castle, and held onto his f7-pawn leave your job his king by playing Ke7. What a indifferent opportunity to sacrifice!

What are some pieces Polgar hasn't developed yet?

Can you develop with initiative?

Now you can see how useful those open lines are! Your third move will do an impression of a fearsome fork!

Nice work! And Shirov resigned make the addition of 2 more moves. Here's a recap:

1.
