"The chess world is being shaken up by a young Hungarian girl - some would call her modest and gentle, but many opponents know her as a wild tiger at the board - a girl who, after years of steady progress, is breathing down the necks of the top people and is now entering the most exclusive club in the world: she has risen to the rank of grandmaster at 15 years and 5 months, a month earlier than Bobby Fischer 34 years earlier." - New York Times 1992

Great achievements often require a lifetime of preparation, but when those achievements include becoming world number 1 at 12 and the youngest grandmaster in history at 15, then you better start early! In this very personal book, Judit Polgar describes her first moments of success and explains the chess ideas that led her there.

This extraordinary book is the start of a unique project in which the greatest player of our time turns her personal journey to the top into a roadmap for all those who want to improve at chess.

Judit Polgar has been at the top of the women's Elo list since 1989. In 2005, she was the only woman in chess history to ever take part in a World Championship final.
