Magnus Carlsen is defeated in 19 moves by Judit Polgár!

During the final rest day (July 2nd) of the 2022 Candidates chess tournament, Judit Polgár and Magnus Carlsen met in Retiro Park in Madrid, Spain to play a friendly game of 3-minute blitz chess. Whenever two chess greats clash over the board, it’s always a fun watch. Polgár’s sharp eye for tactics caught Carlsen sleeping after what seemed to be a logical 15th move. PGN 1. e4 c5 2.
