	Susan Polgar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Susan Polgar (born April 19, 1969) is a Hungarian-American chess player, and one of the strongest female players ever, having been Women's World Chess Champion from 1996 until 1999.
		However, in November of that year FIDE (with the pressure from the Soviet federation which did not want to see a non-Soviet to be ranked #1) decided to grant 100 bonus ELO rating points to all active female players except her, knocking her out of the top spot in the January, 1987 ratings list.
		Polgar sued in the Court of Arbitration for Sports in Lausanne, Switzerland for monetary damages and the restoration of her title.

	The My Hero Project - Judit Polgarj_polgar
		Laszlo Polgar's experiment in manufacturing genius was a controversial one; it actually provoked the opposition of the Hungarian government.
		Critics claimed that Laszlo Polgar used questionable methods to train his daughter, and armed government officials once arrived at the door of their home in an attempt to save them from what they saw as a potentially abusive situation.
		Laszlo Polgar's experiment may have caused much controversy, but led to the much-delayed acknowledgement that women chess players are capable of competing on an international scale among men.

	Prodigal daughters
		Polgar, a diminutive 20 year-old with a penchant for silver shoes, is so good that she long ago gave up playing other women and now competes only in tournaments for men.
		Judit - the third, youngest and greatest of Hungary's three chess-playing Polgar sisters - became the youngest-ever inter-national master at the age of 12, By 15 she was the youngest-ever grandmaster; a year later she beat the former world champion Boris Spassky.
		Laszlo Polgar's ambition is for an institute to test his educational theory, but the intensive teaching put in by Laszlo and Klara is not a realistic option for the average family.

	Psychology Today: The Grandmaster Experiment
		Susan Polgar was perfumed, coiffed, made-up and dressed in a sleek fl pantsuit, an elegant contrast to the boys and young men hunched over their boards in her Queens, New York, chess club.
		Chess, the Polgars decided, was the perfect activity for their protogenius: It was an art, a science, and like competitive athletics, yielded objective results that could be measured over time.
		Laszlo once found Sophia in the bathroom in the middle of the night, a chessboard balanced across her knees.

		Zsuzsa Polgar (born April 19, 1969 in Budapest, Hungary), also known as Susan Polgar, is among the strongest female chess players in history.
		The rationale was that Polgar had earned her rating primarly playing against men, whereas other female chess players had deflated ratings from playing in women-only tournaments.
		Polgar was not listed in the October 2004 FIDE Elo rating list due to inactivity.

		Laszlo Polgar, who has devoted his professional life to the study of the mind, boldly declares to the world that he can turn any healthy baby into a genius.
		Laszlo's girl, Susan Polgar, now 36, a mother of two boys, is beautiful.
		Polgar's father, a psychologist and author of the book Bring Up Genius!, and mother, a Ukrainian foreign-language teacher named Klara, have since raised three daughters, all quite brilliant.

	Traveling with the Polgars
		In 1986, I traveled with the Polgar family or took them to tournaments all over the world, to places as far away as Albena, Bulgaria, Copenhagen, Puerto Rico and Rio Gallegos, Argentina (which is near the southern tip of Argentina).
		Most people find this difficult to imagine, but the Polgars were hated and indeed despised all over the chess playing world, in spite of the fact that they were very sweet and nice people.
		For example, Laszlo Polgar is often compared with Rustam Kamsky, which is a highly inappropriate comparison, because Laszlo Polgar is a very gentile person, whereas Rustam Kamsky is simply a thug.

		Instead of giving a more limited number of problems to solve with the most important tactical patterns, the author set out to do "quantity instead of quality" and becomes a "compliler" instead of a teacher directing a student to learn what is most important with perhaps a limited time to study like...
		I recommend that you put a check in pencil when you miss in figuring out the problem by the diagram on the first try and lesser marks for more lengthy correct solutions to no marks for 100% solution.

		It shows Sophie Polgar playing the runner-up Mephisto computer, with Judit and her father (standing on the left) watching.
		The Polgars were having a lot of trouble with the Hungarian Chess Federation, so that the meeting has somewhat touchy overtones.

	Studying Tactics
		This book breaks down tactical ideas into their component parts and introduces a bit of science and pattern recognition into the student's mind.
		Afterwards, go back to the Polgar book and solve all the mate in twos.
		I recommend you read the rest of the Polgar book at this stage, and if you aren't completely sick of chess by that time, move on to the Spielmann book, tossing in problems from the Encyclopedia whenever a spare moment presents itself.

	BrothersJudd Blog: THAT DOES NOT COMPUTE:
		Of course, Laszlo trained them hard from childhood, and as the saying goes: if you spend 10,000 hours at anything, you will end up pretty good at it.
		Judit Polgar, the youngest sister, is No. 8 in the latest world rankings.
		She is based in Hungary but after taking time off for the birth of her child, she is back to crisscrossing the globe and playing so-called "supertournaments" in which top grandmasters compete.

		She doesn't disappoint: Her grand temperament suits her character's aggressively curious nature while her increasingly dark lower range is put to good use in conveying the awe and horror of what she finds while probing her husband's past.
		Polgar is also alert to the dramatic turns of Bluebeard.
		Laszlo Polgar's rich dark voice is a revelation in the title role, however, for me it is Jessye Norman's magesterial performance as Judith which makes the set.

		My favorites here - besides the compelling Gilfry as the Don - are Laszlo Polgar's Leporello (a voice of chocolate), Liliana Nikiteanu's Zerlina (wonderfully acted and sung), and Oliver Widmer's Masetto (you can understaned why Zerlina both loves, and disdains him: he is charmingly weak).
		Gilfry has found his true metier in Don Giovanni - he is a scary, egoistic and sexy menace with a lovely voice.
		Polgar as Leporello has an inspiring comic ability paired to a voice like chocolate.

		Fidelio is an opera that's rarely taken lightly; casting is as serious a matter as orchestral preparation and conductorial approach.
		Laszlo Polgar's Rocco is of the dumb-but-sweet variety and he knows how to cower in his scenes with Pizarro, but there's nothing special to it.
		Alan Held's Pizarro is well sung (rather than shouted) and presented in a nicely clipped, snappy fashion--but he does not terrify as great Pizarros do.
