Polgár was born on July 23, 1976, in Budapest, to a Hungarian Jewish family.
Polgár and her two older sisters, Grandmaster Susan and International Master Sofia, were part of an educational experiment carried out by their father László Polgár, in an attempt to prove that children could make exceptional achievements if trained in a specialist subject from a very early age.
" Geniuses are made, not born ", was László's thesis.
He and his wife Klára educated their three daughters at home, with chess as the specialist subject.
László also taught his three daughters the international language Esperanto.
They received resistance from Hungarian authorities as home-schooling was not a " socialist " approach.
They also received criticism at the time from some western commentators for depriving the sisters of a normal childhood.
However, by most reports the girls appeared happy and well-adjusted.
