Just in case I am not the only dumb person around. the link points to a Video of Players playing in ice water, not a speech of Judit.

Maybe you just don't know how to get there🙂 Actually, same for me. Don't think I would like to be playing in ice water for sure!

I admire Judit's work ethic as much as her talent. It takes both to achieve greatness in chess.

Was the defeat of Kas with full tournament time controls or was it blitz? If tournie controls it would be a much more meaningful win.

The tournament was played under rapid rules with 25 minutes per game and a 10 second bonus per move.
