15-Year-Old Susan Polgar Blasts the Benoni Beautifully in 22 Moves

Featured is an aesthetic chess game between 15-year-old Susan Polgar and Peter Hardicsay from 1985. Against the Benoni Defense, Polgar answers Bg7 with a timely Qa4+. After Hardicsay counterpunches, Polgar exploits Black's newly weakened b-pawn. Black seeks counterplay on the kingside and in the center, but his plan proves faulty. Polgar neutralizes the threats and then unleashes a forceful attack against the black king, finishing with a beautiful combination. #chess #SusanPolgar #chesstactics Image in thumbnail of Susan Polgar by Sjakkelien Vollebregt / Anefo, Dutch National Archives, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 NL, 1985 I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8.
