This is the true story of how Judit Polgr captivated the world as she battled to become the youngest chess grandmaster in history!'I was at both events where Judit got her first IM norm (I drew her in the last round) and her last GM norm, and I was fortunate enough to play her a few times in the late 80s and early 90s. Judit was already stronger than me when she was 12 years old. She was a great attacking player and great tactician. Simply said, Judit is one of the greatest players of all time. This book is beautifully written and illustrated and will delight children who already play chess and will intrigue those yet to learn the beautiful game.' GM Ben Finegold'If there's one person that has inspired more girls to play chess, it is Judit Polgr, and thanks to these fantastic illustrations, many young chess players will get to see her fearlessness and determination in her formative years. Judit remains one of the most important people in scholastic chess and growth of the game, and getting her to see her as a girl and her most impressive moves is a winning combo for any aspiring young player.' FM Mike Klein, aka FunMasterMike of ChessKid.com'Dispelling the notion that women are inferior chess players, this biographical picture book spotlights a triumphant child/heroine.'
