How is it a "weird comment"? Women don't need exposure to chess, there isn't anything odd about the fact that most people don't want to spend 14 hours a day studying chess positions. The real mystery is why any men wish to spend their time devoted to this ultimately pointless activity, not why women don't care. Probably ego and status and "world champion" title are more motivating to male brains.
I've always admired Jennifer Yu's style. I know that chess as a career is not the most lucrative thing, but - however it felt in the moment - one does not simply stumble into two championships. She's a serious talent, and it would be a loss to the artistry of chess if she stopped playing.
Jennifer Yu's been one of my favorites since her insane run back in 2019, I remember Jeffery Xiong also having a breakout year because I kept saying "Go JX/Y!" in chat to cover them both. Love her attitude and her tenacity, if she's this strong while playing nonsense, imagine what she could do with top tier prep!
Was very happy for Jennifer, she was my favorite to win at the start of the competition and did amazing to clinch it in most dramatic fashion. Well done!
Nice interview. You really get to know how hard it is for girls to come forward and play this game and pursue a career in this game, but times are changing chess is on a rise slowly but steadily.
Yu's games were so awesome to watch in the U.S. Championship -- I will go out on a limb and say that women's chess could be more exciting than mens/open chess to the average viewer.
She is a charming young lady with a very bright future. A model champion and someone that young ladies can look up to. I am hoping someday my daughters can meet her. Congrats Jennifer!
I like girl power especially in chess. We have proven to the world we can also do many important things and missions. And congrats to Jennifer Yu. You are great fighter, and I like the way you kept fighting with also converted from quite bad position to winning another title of yours. And thanks for the podcast again for bringing up great interview to us, really appreciated. 👍👍👍
NGL I turned off my stream after she hung the bishop. Wouldn't have believed that Krush wasn't able to convert. Her tenacity won the day (and the tournament.)
Karma is everything; it's non-transactionable, it is transaction. You shouldn't imply there is a definitive measure or anything to be judged or owed. IMO.
Combining serious chess training with college/university studies is indeed difficult. The nature of both lacks physical activity, which sooner or later makes itself felt.
The American education system is among the worst in the world though. A degree there is the equivalent of getting a toy from Happy Meal compared to other developed countries. Everyone is hyped at the mention of Harvard or Stanford, but then you realize they lag in science and math, teach less about history than some high schools elsewhere, etc. Much like they crown world champions even though the competitions are purely among US citizens, but that's America for you, an illusion of greatness. Food for thought.
Two points about Harvard Econ. Have to talk to Ken Rogoff. Other than that, you should contact Tyler Cowen at George Mason and ask about how Econ is a bridge to your future.
Ah, yes. Gotta love econ. Where you learn a bunch of bullshit, just to find out next semester that everything you learned in the previous semester was bullshit.
@@Tocinos HAHA true all these smart chess players wasting time on bullshit in school. Botez went to her ivy league then her sister was smart enough to not waste the time.
She has her priorities straight, smart, well behaved and attractive. Complete package. We need revolutionary work in the field of Econ. 100 years ago Model T had 20HP and a top speed of 40mph. John Keynes was at his peak. Tesla has over 1000hp and 200mph+ and they are still applying Keynesian theories. No wonder 400PhDs at the Fed and produce poor results.
Definitely you should bring more girls into chess. It is an absolute nightmare here in Germany and those who do go to the chess clubs are often in a weird position. If only for one reason, do it to prove all those sexists wrong who think that there are hard biological reasons that women are on average several hundred rating points lower rated than men and (unwittingly) try to make women give up before they even start.
"try to make women give up before they start".... It's not like that ... This argument comes because women always try to tell the world that they are as good if not better than men in every aspect.... If they shut up and do their business nobody will unnecessarily discourage you....
i very much doubt it's an "absolute nightmare" in germany given how developed it is. here in czechia (your eastern neighbours) if anything it's the opposite - girls are encouraged to play. in the small club, i played for, alone we had two girls competing in multiple european and world youth championships. the reason women don't reach the highest level are indeed mostly biological. just two important reasons of the top of my head: 1) the distribution of many characteristics (including those related to chess potential) in men are more extreme in men than in women. this does not mean men are better at chess overall than women, but it does mean that there will be many many more male outliers (and all top players are outliers). the fabulous susan polgar was an extreme outlier in female chess and still she had to compete against a much larger group of outlier men. the top level is still unattainable for 99.9% of men so for the average (or even highly above average) men there's almost no difference compared to women. 2) boys/men have a much stronger tendency to be single minded - find something that interests them and go deep in, devote all their time to their interest and disregard anything else. girls/women tend to be much more well rounded in their approach to life. but then again, the vast majority of men "lack" this single mindedness too, so for all but a small portion of chess players there is almost no difference between boys/girls and for 99% of male chess players there will always be many female chess players much stronger than them.
@@thesarasohrabi Oh, people will. With comments like "because women always try to tell the world that they are as good if not better than men in every aspect". Not sure where you live, but this is basically what men did for thousands of years where I live, and still do sometimes.
@@karelpitra3634 The "nightmare" I meant is not that women are thrown out of clubs. It is the ratio. In every club I was there were about 8-10 men per woman.

Grandmaster is 2500 elo and 3 GM norms, she's very far from GM. GM is the highest title you can get, it's a select few chess players who achieve Grandmaster. There is only 1 woman in the US that is a Grandmaster, Irina Krush
What's with all these grown ass men viewing life through the lens of a highschool freshman? Is this how people interact outside of the US? Every convo with a woman has to be you pulling her into a lifelong marriage? You know, crazy thought. Bear with me for a moment, I know. However, have you ever considered? Just for a second? That two people of the opposite gender can have a regular interaction? "Go get that" LOL bruh said, "go get that"
This girl is literally rated worse than Levi from Gotham chess who isn't even a serious player or GM, just a chess themed TH-cam entertainer, she hangs pieces in competition, and yet gets to win a major tournament and be interviewed by a world champion candidate all because she's female? This is ridiculous, and an insult to both women and chess fans. Gender is irrelevant, she's just a trash player... Caruana asking her questions is like Einstein asking some third grader about their science project... give me a break. Why podcast time would be given to someone who isn't even an IM much less GM when there are so many amazing players who haven't gotten any attention on the podcast is baffling to me (as both a woman, and a chess fan.)
It's not separated. Anyone can play in the open section. There is an additional tournament for women to try and encourage more women to participate in chess and increase visibility and opportunities for female players, because there haven't been bas many women interested in chess historically.
If anything, ironically enough, women are more intelligent on average. Like the dude above said, it's for encouraging more woman to participate since the open section is basically a boy's club. The same way how you'd feel like you're in a woman's club if you're in the fashion industry.
Why is there a women's us championship? I thought we are all equal? i understand men are better at everything but how will the illusion be maintained that we are all equal if even in a mental game women need their own seperate competition? Can we make a US 41yo ,6feet male competition? i wanne be a worldchampion to and its not fair i cant be one.

Yes for sure, its very funny to watch people blundering every time (not ironic as I am roughly at the same level)
Best chess pod end of debate.
Man, imagine people coming up to you in college making fun of throwing away a bishop. 2022 is a wild place.
She is a charming young lady with a very bright future. A model champion and someone that young ladies can look up to. I am hoping someday my daughters can meet her. Congrats Jennifer!

I feel like it would be a huge loss to the chess world in general if she doesn’t turn pro, we need more corporate sponsorship in chess.
How good is Jennifer compared to the top female players in China, Russia or Ukraine? Does she stand a chance agaisnt Hou or Lagno.
