The life story of Sofia Polgar | A dangerous tactician and an amazing artist

[@ishersingh5405]

One word for polgar sisters' career : Inspirational Their story shows that parents play a key role in every child' s career growth. Hats off to their parents to find their interest at the early age and supporting them throughout their journey of chess. I believe a movie should be made on polgar sisters so that their story can be more main stream, it will definitely inspire even more youngsters.

On a side note, its really unfortunate that Israelis see a very one-dimensional side of the on-going conflict in the middle east when they basically forced their way on foreign land and essentially stole it from the native people already living there. I recommend anyone not familiar with the history of Israel spend some time learning how the country came to be. Essentially, Israel did not exist until 1948. Prior to the Zionist movement Muslims and Christians lived in peace for hundreds if not thousands of years. Of course, that has changed over the past 100 years or so.
