12-year-old Girl Sets a Deadly Chess Trap! - Remote Chess Academy

Judit Polgar is considered the strongest female chess player of all time. In 1991, Polgar achieved the title of Grandmaster at the age of 15 years and 4 months, at the time the youngest to have done so, breaking the record previously held by the former World Champion Bobby Fischer. She is the first, and to date only, woman to have surpassed the 2700 ELO, reaching a career peak rating of 2735 and peak world ranking of No. 8, both achieved in 2005. Her father purposely made his daughter play against boys. In chess, men are usually stronger than women, and so, this is an excellent training. And perhaps, that’s the reason why she is considered the strongest female chess player.
