163: Win, Lose, or Draw [Checkmate pt.1: Judit Polgár]
Some are born for greatness, others are made. For Judit Polgár and her sisters, their father was not leaving it up to chance. Raised from birth to be chess prodigies, the Polgár sisters overcame communism, misogyny, and her own self doubt to become the youngest chess grandmaster in history and the first woman to ever break into the top ten chess players in the world. Win, lose, or draw, there is no questioning her legacy. This week, on Well, I Laughed. Chapters 00:00:00 Catch
