Ive found out that in many cases, Polgar (Judith) beat Kasparov (Garry) more times than Garry Beat Judith, Now how would the Chess World feel to really have a Women's World Champion and could she hold it as long as some of the Greatest Men's Champions did?
I think Personally, Judith is by far the Best Female Chess Player on this Planet and she would do just fine holding the Title.
Does anyone know why Judith was not in the 2007 Mexico World Championships? I think she would give Kramnik and even Anand a Run for there money. Shes honestly a Brillant player and deserves the Chance. She is a woman but does that matter? I think she has the mind to be the Next World Champion.
Heres a link to a Polgar vs Kasparov game

Judit Polgar isn't at Mexico because she lost in the first round of the Candidates to Evgeny Bareev, who in turn lost to Peter Leko in the next round.
Judit Polgar made huge strides for women's chess and is the best woman chess player ever by a long, long way, but she didn't quite make it to the very top and I don't think she will do so at this stage of her career.

Also:
Overall record: Garry Kasparov beat Judit Polgar 11 to 1, with 3 draws.

I know the database on chessgames.com is far from complete, but I doubt they miss alot of Kasparov - Polgar games. So I don't think your statement that Polgar beat Kasparov more times than vice versa is correct.
I wouldn't mind having a woman beeing world champion though. I don't see why not, if she'd beat the reigning world champion in an official match.
Edit: Meh, got beaten to it ;/
Originally posted by c00ushionA Woman World Champion is outdated. It stems from that era when men didn't think women were equally intelligent as men, and their deficit logical abilities far inferior than that of men.

Now we know for a fact that men and women are equal in intellectual gifts. To organize a special tournament for women is only to accept women inferiority. This is totally outdated.
There are numerous women today that gives the male elite a hard time. Polgar sisters are only a few examples of this. In Sweden we have Pia Cramling who plays the Swedish Championship for men and give them a real match.
I think in Bridge they are more modern and have mixed championships. No one lifts an eyebrow for that. When do we in chess realize the same thing? Or are we old chauvinists who think that their cute little brains shouldn't worry about intellectual matters. The serve better in the kitchen, serving coffee or beer?
I dont think Judit will ever be champion but the standard of womens chess is getting much higher now. There are some quite promising young female players that, a few years from now, might well be able to challenge for the top.
At the moment the most likely player is Humpy Koneru, the second highest rated female in the world. She is on her way to breaking the 2600 barrier already and might get even stronger in the future.

Also, one to keep an eye on is Hou Yifan, a 14 year old chinese player who is already over 2500

At my level there are still plenty of women who can beat me, but the simple fact is that very few women make it to Grandmaster standard. Apart from Judit Polgar, the next strongest woman player ever is probably her sister, Susan, who was never really any better than a good Grandmaster at her peak. Sure there has been the odd good tournament result by a woman over the years, but no other top 20 woman players.
It may be that women chess players never get to the very top because they play too many games amongst themselves and so aren't pushed enough, but I don't think this is the case nowadays. The few very strong women players I know mostly play against men in mixed sex tournaments and leagues, and only play in all women events at olympiads.
I don't really know the reason why only one woman has ever got near the top of the chess rankings, but I would guess that for every woman over 2500 there are fifty men. Maybe it is true that men's brains are just better suited to whatever chess needs than women's brains, just like black men's bodies seem to be better suited to sprint faster than white men's. I'm not being sexist or racist, just looking at the statistics. This is not to say that men are more intelligent than woman, to be honest there isn't a particularly strong correlation between intelligence and chess ability.
Apparently there is a sicentific explanation to it. Chess is a game involving alot of spacial awareness, this being an ability controlled by an area of the brain used more frequently by men then by women.
Consequently, less women become good because they have to learn to consciously access this brain power and if they lack sufficient enthusiasm are likely to give up the game before getting good.

In my calendar I can read 2007. This is not stoneage anymore.

Anyway, you women dont have it all bad, there is an area of creative thinking that is unique to women too which men dont tend to be so good at (unless they are gay) like arty things, cleaning, cooking or finding flaws that dont exist in what people say.
Originally posted by TyrannosauruschexHey man I'm from Ireland and we pried ourselves most times on being clean, I happen to clean because I live with 2 sisters who are lazy because they were treated like babies and had everything done for them all there lives, being clean and neat doesnt make you gay, now cooking I would do, but hell I burn the hell out of Toast most times so what makes you think I'd be good with a pan? Still the point is you can do those things and not be gay. I call people who dont do that "lazy" has nothing to do with Sexual Preference
