Chess, like any creative activity, can exist only through the combined efforts of those who have creative talent, and those who have the ability to organize their creative work.

💢 Judit Polgar
💢 Hungarian chess Grandmaster,Author and Trainer

♦️ Judit Polgár is a Hungarian chess grandmaster. She is generally considered the strongest female chess player of all time.

🔸 Full nam:e Polgár Judit
🔸 Country: Hungary
🔸 Born: 23 July 1976
Budapest, Hungary
🔸 Title: Grandmaster (1991)
🔸 FIDE rating: 2675 (May 2018) [inactive since September 2015]
🔸 Peak rating: 2735
(No. 8 player and No. 1 woman in the July 2005 FIDE World Rankings)
🔸 Peak ranking: No. 8 (July 2005)

♦️ Polgár has rarely played in women's-specific tournaments or divisions and has never competed for the Women's World Championship: "I always say that women should have the self-confidence that they are as good as male players, but only if they are willing to work and take it seriously as much as male players."
While László Polgár has been credited with being an excellent chess coach, the Polgárs had also employed professional chessplayers to train their daughters, including Hungarian champion IM Tibor Florian, GM Pal Benko, and Russian GM Alexander Chernin. Susan Polgár, the eldest of the sisters, 5½ years older than Sophia and 7 years older than Judit, was the first of the sisters to achieve prominence in chess by winning tournaments, and by 1986, she was the world's top-rated female chess player.
