Priceless!
Yeah, amazing picture of Eugene Torre too.
Thanks Susan.
Please show us more pics 🙂
these photos are priceless. just amazing.
When were these pictures taken? I am guessing mid 1980s.

Nice pics, Susan! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the pictures. They are indeed a rare treasure.
Were any of your games saved from these encounters?
Most of these pictures were taken around 1993. I have not decided if I would publish a book of my games with Bobby. I made him a promise at that time that I would not reveal the scores. I am still undecided.
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar
Is it Waitzkin there?
Wow !!!! Amazing Photos !!! Thank you so much for posting theses !!
Please , please Susan publish a book on your time with this Great Legend.
I am sure a repectful insight into this Great Man would be a great historal value.
Susan:
Your personal perspective on Bobby would be of great interest to the chess world. Of course, if you promised you would not reveal the games, then that settles it and we won’t get to see them. It would be fascinating, however, to know what he was like – both during the games and in the off times. Was his clock used? Was it all Fischer Random? Did his visit change his mind that women are “stupid compared to men”?
I think it’s not just Fischerandom – as far as I can see from the photos – but Shuffle Chess… Can someone explain it?
