The Queen’s Gambit was fiction — but Judit Polgár’s story was real. At just 17, she faced Garry Kasparov — the world’s No.1 and the most powerful man in chess. What followed would change the game forever. In the 1980s, the idea that a woman could compete with men was laughed at. Fischer said women were “terrible.” Kasparov claimed they were “weaker fighters.” Then came a family from Budapest who decided to prove the world wrong. Their father, László Polgár, believed geniuses are made, not born. So he raised his three daughters — Susan (1969), Sofia (1974), and Judit (1976) — to test that theory. The result?

A revolution. By the time Judit was 15, she had won the Hungarian Championship. By 25, she had beaten every living World Champion — including Kasparov, Anand, and Karpov — and reached World No. 8, the only woman ever to do so.

P.S. Je weniger Steine auf dem Brett, desto schwieriger ist manchmal die Schach-Stellung.

"August 17 and September 1, 1936. In that extra-Olympiad (non-FIDE) 208 participants, representing 21 countries, played 1680 games. The Munich unofficial Olympiad was the biggest team competition ever held."

"Despite the fact that the German Chess Federation had been expelled by FIDE a few years earlier due to the inclusion of racial laws in its statutes, an unofficial Olympiad was organised in Munich; as a result, many countries decided to skip the event. In contrast to the International Olympic Committee’s recognition of the Olympic Games in Berlin, FIDE opted not to acknowledge this particular event."

‘Die jĂŒdische Malerin Emma Löwenstamm (1879-1941) brachte in Wien Hitler und Lenin zusammen, um sie gemeinsam zu malen. Sie lud beide ins Atelier von Julius von Ludassy ein. Im Donau-Kurier Ingoldstadt vom 19. July 1984 erwĂ€hnt Bernd Kallina in seinem Artikel die damals angefertige Zeichnung, wo Lenin auf der RĂŒckseite die Worte “Lenin mit Hitler” hingeschrieben haben soll.’

Weiter wird erwĂ€hnt, dass sich beide 1909 in Wien getroffen und zusammen Schach gespielt haben ...’
