Judit Polgar

It all started as an experiment on the part of his father, Laszlo Polgar, who tried to prove that geniuses are not born, are made. Judit and her two older sisters were educated at home and all of them became formidable players, but it was the younger one who ended up proving more thirst for success. By the age of 12 he had already beaten a great teacher and had more rating than the current World Champion, Maia Chiburdanidze. He then broke the record for Bobby Fischer and became the youngest GM in history in 1992, at 15 years and 5 months; With 19 years entered for the first time in the top-10 of the world. Their first big successes included first place shared with Evgeny Bareev with 9/14 in Hastings 1992-93 and 7/9 in Madrid 1994, surpassing in 1.5 points to the second, with rivals like Gata Kamsky and Alexei Shirov. Many other successes came later.
