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."
