When my three daughters were born,

we were very poor.

We lived in a run-down house in a workers' district.

The walls were wet from ceiling to floor.

I wanted a better life for my daughters.

I started to study the biographies of geniuses.

All of them started at the age of 5 and studied one field

for eight to nine hours every day.

I never doubted that this experiment would lead to success.

In the beginning, I didn't know if he's right.

I'm telling you the truth.

But I liked my husband, his idea.

So why not?

Why chess?

Very simple. The chessboard, it's easy to have it.

And very cheap.

Every day was a working day.

Still, the girls had a great time.

Sometimes the police came out

with machine guns and got us out of bed in the morning.

It happened that they were coming

to put us to mental house

or to the jail.

And even, they said, that they could take away the children from us.

They take away the children from us. You can imagine.

Pawn to E4.

Knight to C3.

Knight to F7.

Checkmate.

The journalists said if the authorities

didn't stop discrimination against the Polgár family,

they would start a worldwide fight against Hungary

for human rights violations.

Kasparov is there.

Hungarian nation acknowledged Polgár family

for the first time, really.

We were invited to Parliament.

The president was celebrating with us.

Does László Polgár feel any satisfaction now?

I'd be lying if I said no.

When will there be a woman world champion?

Well, maybe she's sitting next to me.

I don't know.

I want to be a grandmaster, and then my rating higher and higher.

Linares tournament, the most important in the world.

It's the first time in chess history

that a girl is among the best male players in the world.

It was very important for her

to be well-prepared for the competition.

The opening variations that Kasparov played had to be examined

and work out a counter to that.

Kasparov told me in an interview

that "It's very nice that Judit will play in Linares tournament."

And he said, "And that way, we shall know her real strength."

Well, actually, I don't know what he means, "real strength."

I'll try my best.

Do you think you would beat him?

The champions are cheating.

At least you can't tell otherwise

from the images we are about to see in a moment.

You can see how the champion did something that is totally forbidden.

I never scolded them

for not winning a game.

Still, losing is a very bad thing.

I think it will be very difficult.

She must be lucky all the time.

It is mostly small coincidences that make reality.

I was working as a veterinarian, after university,

and a red-haired girl came in who looked exactly like Judit Polgár.

Right at this moment,

I deviated from protocol, and I suggested to her,

"Listen, why don't we go play tennis?"

What makes a man fall for a woman?

For thousands of years, there has been no easy answer to this question.

With her smiling eyes and red hair,

she had a fire about her, an energy, and

from the very first moment, she said what she meant.

I found that to be a very sexy thing.

When Judit got married,

my role as a manager basically stopped.

I have to be honest,

I'm reluctant to give an opinion on this matter.

I had very little influence on my daughters once they were grown up.

Because their husbands basically took them in a different direction.

And so when my role as manager ended,

I was a little hurt. I found it a bit strange.

But I said that it was up to Judit

to decide how she wanted to continue her life.

My sweetheart wanted strawberries

and ordered this for herself.

Yes, and I'll eat yours too.

When I became a part of her life,

I told her a big secret.

In chess, there is winning, there is losing,

and there is a third outcome,

a draw.

So she stayed

one of the best offensive players in the world,

but she started to lose less,

and her rating started to rise.

Here we are at the training camp,

with the Adriatic in the background.

How is the Adriatic?

Beautiful to look at because I'd love to jump in.

It was a great experience. Kasparov was in amazing form.

The kind of feeling

that there is a god sitting on the other side is gone.

A flesh-and-blood person was in front of her.

Here is the hero of the day, the Kasparov slayer.

So what is your professional opinion? Were you satisfied?

- Yes. - Yes, but go on!

- No comment. - Don't be silly!

I've never heard such a thing before.

It was a fabulous achievement for her,

and that's why I felt that

our experiment worked.

But you can only say that Judit was one of the best players in the world.

To be the number one among the world's top players,

she would have had to work three or four hours a day more.

I am just glad to see Judit happy.

Looking back all these years,

and being the subject of that experiment,

how do you feel about it?
