My Brilliant Brain on Geo from December 10
My Brilliant Brain a new series premieres on December 10 at 10 pm on the National Geographic Channel, that sets out to make viewers re-think the abilities of the human brain. The series examines three groups of genius to answer questions about human intelligence and the origins of genius: are these extraordinary abilities genetic , developed or acquired by accident?
As part of the series , Nat Geo will showcase a special Indian film called India’s Geniuses that profiles four Indian geniuses including Siddharth Nagrajan from Hyderabad , Nischal Narayanam from Hyderabad , Tataghat Avatar Tulsi from Bangalore (originally from Bihar) and Raghav Sachar from Mumbai. Stories of these geniuses will be presented by National Award winning actor Konkona Sen Sharma.
Speaking on the channel’s biggest initiative this year, Nikhil Mirchandani , Managing Director , National Geographic Channel , South Asia said , “My Brilliant Brain is a special initiative for us as it strongly communicates our philosophy of Think again. It is a celebration of the incredible powers of the human mind and we have extended it beyond the on-air showcase, which includes innovative on-line and on-ground activation to provide a wholesome experience to our viewers.”
With a mix of special effects photography, computer animations and neurological experiments, the series will showcase some of the world’s most phenomenal geniuses.
Born Genius introduces Marc Yu, an amazing seven year old classical concert pianist whose brain seems specifically created for music. Delving deep into the minds of savants , Accidental Genius shares the story of one man who suffered a serious brain injury that released a manic talent for painting that he had never known. Make Me a Genius profiles Susan Polgar, whose unique education early in childhood shapes a supreme ability to play chess, making her the world’s first female chess grand master.
Here is the full article. Here is the full 47 minute National Geographic movie on Google.
It’s absolutely a fantastic movie. It’s the best chess documentary I’ve seen. This should help chess as a whole.
She isn’t a Grandmaster she is a very naughty girl!

I like it your video about your brain…it’s amazing. Congratulations for explain how to use your brain the information and how to think in chess. my best rewards for you….kisses and huges…Paulino Aguilera (amateur chessplayer and teacher of kids in chess and economist).
susan ..u don’t have a brilliant brain
hey susan….you can understand the genious of a man in India, only when u read what Buddha discovered. 2500 yrs ago he was aware that there is a particle called atom and that it can be further divided. He not only knew but experienced it by observing his own body. Playing chess is simple, just have to memorize. Being a genious is something more than just making good moves in chess . Just read buddha and u’ll understand what is mind and what a genious he was.

Anonymous is a cowardly critic who knows nothing of chess or genius. He only possbly knows the smell of cow dung and his own smelly armpits. It is a miracle you have found the ability to access the Internet from your flooded jungle swamp in India. Also, by the way the reason why Buddha is smiling is because he just finished reading Susan’s book “Chess Tactics for Champions”. He was truly enlightened after reading that magnificent book!
uncle fester…
thankyou for the personal attack on me and India.
You are right, i don’t know much about chess…but i’m sure fischer and kasparov know abt it and they said ‘ any kid can become a great player by memorizing lines’.
The amount of hatred ur message sends just shows how miserable you are. Goodluck to u and all the westeners who are still behind money and all the sense pleasures like winning a game of chess. It;s funny that many westeners come to India and buddhist countries seeking happiness and finally end up really happy by ‘knowing truth abt life’
which is the real knowledge.
Susan, i have a message for you…why don’t u help people in need instead of helping chess…chess and money
can help people only to a certain extent.chess could make a man happy and at the same time miserable. Look at kramnik making statements like uncle fester after losing to anand his title. Miserable like u…eh? what u say genious uncle…!?
“what u say genious uncle…!?”
Generous uncles says:
“Log off and get back to work haji! Those tennis shoes won’t make themselves!”
Ha!
I’ve watched the documentary and was really impressed with susan. she really is a genius…. i wish i could raise my unborn child the way she was raised, a genius in whatever field of endeavor he/she chooses to take…
Susan Polgar is definitely now one of my favorites after seeing how a great genius she is…
To harsha, i pity you for being an envious and insecure bitch who could not appreciate the beauty of the human mind. you should look for your own expertise and see for yourself if you still have any brain left…. i just could imagine that you were never appreciated in your entire existence…
Its really great…
I watched your documentary and its really great …
In short…
“An absolute genius”
