In her prime, Judit Polgar was among the top ten in the world, and she was the first and so far only woman to achieve this. She was invited to top tournaments and played on an equal footing with the best men in the chess world.

In the course of their careers Judit Polgar and Garry Kasparov played seven classical games against each other, the first at the tournament in Linares in 1994, the last in 2001, but also in Linares. The overall score was clearly in favour of Kasparov: he won five games, two ended in a draw.

Kasparov and Judit Polgar also met in a couple of blitz- and rapid tournaments, and here Kasparov also dominated.

But at a rapid tournamemnt in Moscow 2002 Judit Polgar managed to win against Kasparov, and with this win she helped the team of the world's best players to win against the Russian squad.

This win certainly contributed a lot to the overall victory for the world team. In a sense it might have been the deciding game. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 Quite a surprise. Kasparov takes up the Berlin defence. The very weapon that robbed him of his crown. 4.0-0 Nxe4 5.d4 Nd6 6.Bxc6 dxc6 7.dxe5 Nf5 8.Qxd8+ Kxd8 9.Nc3 h6 10.Rd1+ Ke8 11.h3 Be7 The move Be7 in some position or another is the new fab. Kramnik has played it without h6. The idea is to set up an exchange with Nh4. One negative aspect of the move is that the often useful reprouping with Ne7-g6 is lost. 12.Ne2 12.g4 Nh4 13.Nxh4 Bxh4 14.Kg2 h5 15.f3 was tried succesfully in Kotronias,V-Nikolaidis,I/ Peristeri 1993/CBM 39 ext/[ChessBase] (66) 12...Nh4 Should Black strive after exchanges at all costs in the Berlin?
