Your course, the queen of the world!.
Your course, the queen of the world!.
Mind game top-level: a crown challenged Anatoly Karpov,
JUdit polgar and two computers - too world champions.
The informal World championship between men and women, "fight
Floors "- as soon as journalists unusual chess tournament did not name in
Budapest. For the first time in single competition have met the chess king,
The numerous world champion Russian Anatoly Karpov and the chess queen,
Entering besides in ten the best players of a planet among men, -
Hungarian Judit Polgar. And still two have simultaneously taken part in tournament
The computer - world champions among computers.
Spassky, Fisher, Carps...
Five years ago in Budapest hotel "Donne-interkontinental" has passed
First in own way chess battle of men and women in single tournament
The international level. Ascending chess star JUdit polgar, which
Then 16 years were hardly executed, in ten parties has put on shovels
The venerable ex-world champion 56-year-old Boris Spassky, just
Won back the well-known tournament with B.Fisher on cape Sacred Stefana. Then
There was an idea to lead J.Polgar's match with not won world champion -
Visionar B.Fisher.
But tournament of a century then has not taken place. Fisher has requested too big
Money - not less than 5 million dollars, and sponsors to find it was not possible.
However the idea of a supermatch of men and women has not died. After five years
Besides in Budapest, this time in hotel "п п п п п ", on the bank of Danube, for
Chess little table "have crossed swords" strongest of women-shahmatistok and
The strongest chess player-man, the world champion.
It is crowned in 13 years.
If our champion Anatoly Karpova to represent especially not
It is necessary, a name young Hungarian shahmatistki, perhaps, speaks not so
It is a lot of, though in twenty with small loud titles and at JUdit polgar
There is enough. Since 1989, that is since thirteen years, Hungarian
The chess child prodigy heads the world female chess table. The
- bronze - a medal it has won the first at ten years' age in
The female European championship. In 14 years - the world champion among young men. And for
A year becomes before a member of man's modular Europe. Since then JUdit
Repeatedly won competitions of grand masters-men, beating all
Records of Book Ginnessa.
By a recognition most shahmatistki, the phenomenal successes
"Chess Mozart", concedes whose rating only to several chess players, in
Much it is obliged to father-teacher Laslo Polgaru. Itself in the past the quite good master,
The polgar-father, except JUdit, has brought up two more chess champions - 28-year-old
ZHuzhu and 23-year-old ZHofi, won as a part of the Hungarian female national team
The first chess Olympic Games in 1988. Since then ZHofi already was in time
To become the world champion among women. And ZHuzha - to receive a title of the international
The grand master.
If it is short, an essence of a pedagogical technique of the father of the chess
Child prodigies in that education and training of children is necessary for beginning
As soon as possible. Geniuses are not born, geniuses bring up - considers
The teacher, and at the age of two-six years each child - the potential genius.
Main principle at "school of geniuses" L.Polgara (its program book and
Is called - "Bring up the genius") - the strengthened development of knowledge in two
Areas: in the mathematician and foreign languages. Trio polgar not is not casual
Only wins chess game, but also speaks on the several foreign
Languages, including in Russian: after all mother of sisters comes Zakarpatja.
The computer with the permission of the champion.
That the contender at Anatoly Karpova in Budapest will be this time
Rather serious and even dangerous, it was possible to predict in advance. It
Has confirmed the first day of tournament. If the first party of Carps - polgar
Has ended in a draw the second has won JUdit. Naturally, our conversation
With the world champion somehow by itself has begun with questions on a trio phenomenon
polgar, histories of meetings of two chess players.
- Behind a chess table with JUdit polgar we met more than once,
In total it is played more than twenty parties, - Anatoly Karpov speaks. - happened,
That she won, but the general result of our meetings essentially in I wash advantage.
Apropos a phenomenon of sisters polgar I can tell, that here the big
Merit of their father. Certainly, this unique phenomenon, that all three sisters
Became grand masters.
- As far as I know, with Hungary and the Hungarian chess players you
Connects much and for a long time. How to explain, that the Hungarian chess
The school became one of the strongest in Europe? After all in neighbouring countries -
Neither in Romania, nor in Poland, in Austria such is not present?
- I really communicate with the Hungarian chess players for a long time. There is Enough
To tell, that Lajosh portish was at me the assistant when I played since
Kasparov in New York and Lyons. Hungarians, by the way to tell, always occupied
High positions in the chess world. How to explain, why at Hungarians the strong
School? First, there is a tradition, there is a school. Secondly, here during times
J.Kadara was strong state support of chess, however, as well as at
Us.
- If I am not mistaken, from J.Kadarom, coming to Hungary, it was necessary to you
To play time and again not only from politeness?
- That is interesting, JAnosh Kadar was strong enough chess player.
I know, that he supported me. When I have won a match against Korchnoy in 1978,
Kadar has invited me to have a rest to Balaton. Coming to Moscow, Kadar
Necessarily came on chess tournament. Amazed its modesty,
Democratic character. In 1973 I played tournament concerning an anniversary of clearing
Budapest. Has come Kadar and began play simply on the same level with all. If
Lost, rose in turn and waited for the following party. On those times, yes
And on present - too, it was nevidanno. Present for a second, if
Leonid Ilich has come to play...
- Anatoly Evgenevich if to abstract from your match with
J.Polgar, allow to ask you as the vice-president of the international
Federations on Russian chess, that at us at home occurs now with
Chess after all oppositions of last years?
- We both did not have an order, and is not present. Associations it does not turn out yet.
Kasparov tries to introduce the system though its system to name difficultly.
Once we together created association of grand masters, but when
The association has refused to support Kasparov in all its ideas, he has considered
Necessary all to disorganise. Then he has created the professional chess
Federation, but also there something was not took. Kasparov's last child - so
Named world chess council. As a result there is a Russian chess
The federation, is FIDE and there is Kasparov's world council. Samaranch
Supports idea that chess became an Olympic kind of sports, but
Says, that chess players do not have unity. In Lausanne he and has told
To chairman FIDE - to K.Ilyumzhinov that would like to see at chess players
Unity of numbers. And Ilyumzhinov instead of being engaged in rallying, became
To bring split, and now at us with it new disagreements. Last year
Ilyumzhinov has given guarantees for 20 years on 10 cycles for a rank of the world champion with
Prize-winning fund of 50 million dollars. This year Ilyumzhinov solves
To arrange the World championships every year, not changing prize-winning fund, that on
Business will mean devaluation of work of chess players for 40 percent. And
Anybody to make of Kirsana Ilyumzhinov such decisions did not authorise. Now
If the decision is not cancelled, business can reach court. As they say, at
Us you will not become bored.
- Today a world chess Olympus confidently storm not only
Women, but also computers. And, as have shown Kasparov's last matches
With computers Ah-bi-em, the car starts to overcome the person...
- This normal phenomenon. I while with the computer did not play, but here
It has turned out here that. As far as I know, when Kasparov signed the contract
On game with car Ah-bi-em, at which for today the most powerful
The computer program, has been brought in the document point, that during two
Years after a match other chess players can play with cars of this firm
Only in case of Kasparov's personal approval. Therefore till the end of 1998
Hopes to play with the most powerful for today by car it is a little.
- And so would not refuse?
- Certainly, no.
The weaker sex
Takes a revenge.
Our meeting with the world champion has taken place in the beginning of its tournament
From J.Polgar when it was necessary to play six more blitz-parties. But, obviously,
Loss in the first day in exhausting Budapest heat became for the champion
Serious psychological blow. Next day it has got to a time trouble,
And rupture in the bill has increased to two points. Despite all further
Attempts to intercept the initiative during game to make it Karpovu and not
It was possible. All other parties have ended in a draw. As a result of an abacus
Sensational tournament in Budapest 5:3 in favour of the weaker sex. For the first time,
Probably, in history of chess the woman in separate tournament has overcome the man in
Rank of the operating world champion. For the sake of justice it is necessary to tell, that
JUdit and earlier won against Anatoly of a blitz that never happened in
Usual parties lasting many hours. Obviously, this circumstance has allowed
To the world champion to relax on start of the Budapest tournament a little. But
Women, as is known, do not excuse to men of minutes of weakness.
