About this product
 
In a major event in chess publishing, Susan Polgar provides a candid inside view of the lives of the Polgar sisters, each with their own goals and aspirations. She takes readers through the incredible development of the three sisters as they pursued their dreams: becoming chess prodigies, growing into contenders, winning World titles and Olympiad gold medals, ending the Soviet dominance in women's chess, breaking through the gender and age barriers, and generally revolutionizing the game. Readers will also be privy to the thoughts and feelings the sisters experienced during major triumphs and disappointments, as Susan shares their most joyous moments and biggest heartbreaks.

Another important issue covered is the strict but ultimately successful training techniques used by the Polgar sisters in their chess evolution. Finally the chess public will have a chance to find out how the sisters really feel about these controversial methods of studying the game.

This volume wouldn't be complete without a marvelous compilation of the Polgar sisters' most stunning chess games, providing a move-by-move explanation of their best and most memorable encounters.

Susan Polgar is the eldest of the celebrated Polgar sisters, a four-time Women's World Champion, and a triple Olympic Champion. She created chess history and broke the gender barrier by becoming the first ever women to earn the highest possible title of Grandmaster. She resides in the U.S.

Paul Truong is a former chess prodigy and was champion of Vietnam before fleeing his country and eventually reaching America. After many years as a successful businessman, his passion has turned to popularizing chess and helping children to progress in the game. He resides in the U.S.
