      Readers will also be privy to the thoughts and feelings the sisters experienced during major triumphs and disappointments, as Susan shares their most joyous moments and biggest heartbreaks. Another important issue covered is the strict but ultimately successful training techniques used by the Polgar sisters in their chess evolution.

      Finally the chess public will have a chance to find out how the sisters really feel about these controversial methods of studying the game. This volume wouldn’t be complete without a marvelous compilation of the Polgar sister most stunning chess games, providing a move-by-move explanation of their best and most memorable encounters.

        I bought this book in Phoenix at the US Open. It was sold out very fast. It’s a very moving and well written book. Thanks for sharing your stories with us.

        I would like to order 100 copies for my school district. Is it possible to get a discount? I would like to use them as prizes for our players.

        Thanks in advance for your response.

        I bought this book from ChessCafe.com but they didn’t have your autographed version. Nevertheless, it’s a very enjoyable book. I highly recommend it.
