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."
