The movie is fantastic. Too bad that the bozos from the USCF won’t promote it.
Susan, have you ever been to india?
Congratulations. The movie is very interesting, and of course quite complimentary of you.
Great documentary !
Congratulations Susan
A Wonderful movie! I will show it to the children I teach!
More young girls and women will play chess as a result!
Wonderful!

Dear susan , i am a big fan of yours and think you are doing a wonderfull thing by promoting chess, but i disagree with the documentary when it states that, ” a genius can be made, and doesnt have to be born”, If a child studies the game of chess from an early age this does not mean he or she will become a genius, or a grand master, but the child will reach his or her potential to be the best they can be. What makes a genius is not how hard they work ( although, if a chess player did not work hard he or she would never become a grand master) its what genetics they are born with that makes grand masters, or a genius so rare and remarkable. for example Mozart was not a genius piano player just becose he worked harder than the other students in his class, its becose of his genetics and the talent he was born with, although if he did not work hard towards being the best he would never make it but no matter how hard a child worked that did not have it in him he would only ever reach his best potential wich would not amount to mozart, who was born a geniuse as yourself susan polgar.
But besides that, the doco was very entertaining!
Thank you for reading my comment and i hope to hear back from you,
a fan of your always,

I have to agree with bryce on the genetics. I’ve seen smart people fail brilliantly while trying to learn higher math over and over again. Yet some children innately understand any math.
Fantastic documentary. Now if only Stephen Fry would do a BBC treatment of chess….
