  Judit Polgar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Judit Polgár comes from a Jewish family background in Budapest, Hungary.

That same year, Judit scored her greatest victory: an undefeated clear 2nd place in the Category 19 Corus chess tournament in Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands, just a half-point behind Indian star Viswanathan Anand, and a full point ahead of world champion Vladimir Kramnik.
