Recently the world's strongest ever female chess player, Judit Polgar, published her first book: How I Beat Fischer's Record – Judit Polgar Teaches Chess 1. To celebrate this, we have one signed copy to give away to a lucky fan!

On what was her only rest day at the Istanbul Olympiad (during round 7), Judit Polgar did a book signing at the book stand in the Expo Center. Chess fans could get a personalized copy of Polgar's first ever chess book: How I Beat Fischer's Record – Judit Polgar Teaches Chess 1. Here's what the publisher's info page says about this book:

"Notions of chess have been shattered by a teen-age Hungarian girl - some call her modest and soft-spoken, but many opponents know her as a ferocious tiger over the board - who after years of steady progress began breathing down the necks of the top men and now has broken the barrier of one of the world's most exclusive clubs: she has earned the rank of grandmaster at 15 years, 5 months, one month younger than Bobby Fischer when he did it 34 years ago." – New York Times, 1992

Great achievements often take a lifetime of preparation, but when these achievements are becoming the World Number 1 at the age of 12 and the youngest ever grandmaster at the age of 15 you have to start early! In this very personal book Judit Polgar describes her early moments of success and the chess ideas she needed to master to achieve them.

This exceptional book is the beginning of a unique project where one of the greatest players of our time transforms her personal journey to the top into a roadmap for everyone who ever wanted to better themselves in the game of chess.

Judit Polgar has been ranked 1st on the Women's rating list from 1988 to this day. In 2005 she became the only woman in chess history to participate in the World Championship final.

After the book signing we asked Judit Polgar to explain how the book came about, and what chess fans can expect from it. Below you can find her answer, but also a quiz question! (If you can't resist, and want to go to the question immediately, it starts at 6 minutes and 28 seconds).
