Page "Judit Polgár" Paragraph 6

Trained in her early years by her sister Susan, who ultimately became Women's World Champion, Judit Polgár was a prodigy from an early age.

At age five she defeated a family friend without looking at the board.

After the game the friend joked, " You are good at chess, but I'm a good cook.

" Judit replied, " Do you cook without looking at the stove?

" However, according to Susan, Judit was not the sister with the most talent, explaining " Judit was a slow starter, but very hard-working.

" Polgár described herself at that age as " obsessive " about chess.

She first defeated an International Master, Dolfi Drimer, at age 10, and a Grandmaster, Vladimir Kovacevic, at age 11.
