Why Judit Polgár's Story Matters

Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Rory Kennedy discusses her Netflix documentary Queen of Chess, which tells the extraordinary true story of Judit Polgár, one of the greatest chess players in history. 

Chess has long been considered a male-dominated sport—one where genius is measured quietly and tradition reigns supreme. Judit Polgár shattered those assumptions at an astonishingly young age, defeating world champions, breaking records previously held by Bobby Fischer, and refusing to compete in women-only tournaments. She didn’t want to be the best female chess player—she wanted to be the best chess player, period.
