Queen of Chess
Documentary93 min
Judit Polgár is a Hungarian chess prodigy aiming for the top of a game that treated international men’s competition as off-limits to women. The film follows her rise from gifted child to elite contender, shaped by the pressure of a domineering father and a long-running showdown with world champion Garry Kasparov. Susan Polgar and Sofia Polgar help frame the family around her, while Kasparov’s presence sets the scale of the barrier Judit was trying to break. The story stays close to the matches, the family dynamic, and Polgár’s fight to claim a place at the highest level of chess.
