Sample dialogue
Some, yes. But it’s no cakewalk. Most kids here can’t last. Laszlo Polgar, Hungarian psychologist, declares in 1967 that talent is all about conditioning. Says he can make his kids, whoever they are, the best in the world at something. What that something is he’ll decide. He’s a lousy chess player but he picks chess because it’s objective. Goes around looking for a wife, finds one who agrees to his experiment. Starts having kids: Susan, Sofia and Judit. Gets them practicing before they can even talk. These weren’t kids who were sitting and smelling the roses. These were kids who were going to leave an actual mark on the world. Who was the top female player by 1984? Susan. Who played the eight-straight-wins “Miracle of Rome” in 1989? Sofia. And who is universally considered the greatest female chess player of all time? Judit.
