Having met both Kasparov and Short. Nigel Short is one hell of a nice guy who beat me easily in a simul, i have met him a few times and had letters from him,he is a straight forward good guy and a world class player.
Kasparov i have met twice (never played) he is one of the alltime great players, but in my experience an arrogant bore full of his own sel ...[text shortened]... t up the return match well and Kasparov wouldn't have lost on purpose for any price, would he?

Originally posted by gambit3He played Nd7-c5 and then quickly changed his mind and move his knight to f8. Arbiter did not notice this, Polgar was visibly surprised, but played on and lost eventually.

Originally posted by TovMauzerI found the game in ChessMaster's analyzed games. The Knight move to c5 is a blunder. A 1500 point USCF rated player should not make such a blunder? ChessMaster stated that Polgar was low on time and was affriad to protest and risk being punished with time taken off her clock. She was also concerned that it might cost her a chance of another such tournament invite. It was also stated that he had lost grip of the Knight for 1/5 of a second. I do not know if you are allowed to move a piece and see that it is a bad move then move it to another square in the same motion.

Originally posted by gambit3in one motion is ok, but not after releasing the piece, Kasparov's shame was compounded when a video of his fingers letting go was shown, i heard he punished Polgar for her after game remarks by only agreeing to participate in events if she wasn't invited. Quite a gentleman, he would love RHP 😵

BORRING!!! LEARN A NEW OPENING!!! 😉
