The Polgar Variant
Thursday, June 25, 2015 at 9:37PM
That's the name of a documentary film on the Polgar sisters that came out last year. More here, including a trailer. That makes two chess documentary films in the last year from Israel (the other was on Boris Gelfand, called "Album 61"), both very respectful of their subjects. Hopefully the result will be a chess boom in that country, or at least some positive growth for our great game. (I'm inclined to wish that U.S. filmmakers would do the same thing, but apparently the lure of the cheap, formulaic presentation of the mentally unstable chess nerd is too strong.)
