Judit Polgar on beating Kasparov not being ‘the’ game
Judit Polgar, the greatest female player of all time, was a
guest during the Play Magnus Group International Women’s Day event and answered
questions posed by the teams. She talked about her career and a number of her
best games, but she explained why beating Garry Kasparov in the 2002 Russia vs.
the Rest of the World match wasn’t her most memorable encounter with the
legend. Chilean singer Juga di Prima also answered questions and presented her
newest song, dedicated to the first Women’s World Chess Champion Vera Menchik.

The world’s most impressive waterfalls, Victoria Falls in Africa and South America’s Iguazu, offer the same dramatic visuals and sounds.
Here are a few facts about each waterfall that you can take into consideration when deciding which is worth a trip, once it is safe to do so.
Where are they?
Brazil and Argentina share the falls in South America, called Iguazu in Argentina and Iguacu in Brazil, named in the language of the Guarani Indians, meaning “big water”.
Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca of Spain was the first European to see the falls in 1542 and baptised them Santa Maria, though the name did not catch on.
