Saturday was a holiday at the World Chess Champion candidate tournament held in Madrid, and an unscheduled party was held. Between Judit Polgár, who has led the women’s world ranking for 25 years, and the reigning world champion, Norwegian Magnus Carlsen. Polgár retired in August 2014, he is one of the expert commentators at this tournament.
Polgár announced on his official Facebook page that he ran into Carlsen in the Retiro park, who was playing chess with the club members, and when he was there, they also had a snell party, which Polgár, playing with light, won.
A in the explanation available on youtube, we can see that Polgár, the best chess player of our time, made him surrender by defeating his leader. And Carlsen saw no point in continuing after 19 steps. Polgár has already beaten eleven men’s world champions in classic or snell parties.
Anyway, the tournament continues on Sunday and ends on Monday, the Hungarian participant, Rapport Richárd, has won once and lost twice in addition to draws in the 12 rounds so far, the Russian Jan Nyepomnyascsij leads and is expected to be Carlsen’s challenger, just like last year.
