My Brilliant Brain : how Susan Polgar became one of the elite chess players in the world
Written by content team 27 November 2007

My Brilliant Brain is the documentary that features GM Susan Polgar and how she became one of the elite chess players in the world. The documentary was showed on National Geographic channel on 9th November. Polgar herself undergoes a variety of chess related challenges and medical examinations during the course of this documentary.
This documentary
focuses on former world chess champion Susan Polgar. According to her father, Laszlo Polgar, any child could be turned into a genius through early and incessant education. This documentary also looks at the differences between the male and female brains.

Susan Polgar

Susan Polgar has reached heights that few women have ever achieved in the chess world. Despite the common assumption that all men's brains are better at understanding spatial relationships, giving them an advantage in games such as chess, Susan went on to become the world' first grandmaster. Susan' remarkable abilities have earned her the label of genius; but her psychologist father, Laszlo Polgar, believed that genius was not born, but made. Noting that even Mozart received tutelage from his father at a very early age, Polgar set about teaching chess to the five-year-old Susan after she happened upon a chess set in their home. My father believed that the potential of children is not used optimally, says Susan

"Any ordinary child could be turned into a genius - Laszlo Polgar, Susan's father."

Susan Polgar

Susan will be in India and on CNN-IBN soon to promote this movie on behalf of National Geographic.
You can view the complete 47 minute movie on google videos.
