Where do we learn - beyond the four walls of a classroom? Well, Judit Polgar believes it is the black and white checkered board, with kings, knights, and queens.

Born in 1967, Budapest, Hungary, Judit grew up playing chess with her three other sisters and family from the age of four. At the age of 15, Judit became the youngest to achieve the title of Grandmaster in chess. 

In this episode, we hear how the only female player in chess history made it to the top 10 in the men's (open) world rankings, and talk about her unrivaled achievements and the responsibility she has embraced through playing chess.
