Polgar, Susan
Susan Polgar is a genuine chess legend. The eldest of the three celebrated Polgar sisters, she's a 4-time Women's World Champion and a triple Olympic Champion. She created chess history and broke the gender barrier by becoming the first ever woman to earn the highest possible title of Grandmaster. An accomplished chess teacher and an award-winning writer, Susan runs her own chess centre in Queens, New York. She's considered in the chess industry as the 'pioneer in women's chess', an ambassador to the game and a true role model to millions of women and children. FIDE Master Paul Truong is a former chess prodigy and was champion of Vietnam before fleeing his country in a small boat and eventually reaching America. After many years as a successful businessman, his passion has turned to popularising chess and helping children in the US to progress in the game. He is captain and business manager of the 2004 US Women's Olympiad Team.
