Susan Polgar (born April 19, 1969, as Polgár Zsuzsanna and
often known as Zsuzsa Polgár) is a Hungarian-American
chess Grandmaster. She is an Olympic chess champion,
a chess teacher, coach, writer and promoter and the head of the Susan Polgar
Institute for Chess Excellence (SPICE) at Texas Tech University as well as the coach
for the 2011 National Championship college chess team. She is the oldest of the
famous "Polgár sisters": Zsuzsa, Zsófia,
and Judit.
Susan is perhaps most famous for being a child
prodigy at chess, for being the first female to earn the Grandmaster title
through tournament play, and for breaking a number of gender barriers in chess.
On the July 1984 FIDE
Rating List, at the age of 15, she became the top
ranked woman player in the world, and remained ranked in the top three for the
next 23 years. She was also the first woman in history to break the gender
barrier by qualifying for the 1986 "Men's" World Championship.[1] She was the Women's World Chess Champion from
1996 to 1999. In October 2005 Polgar had an Elo
rating of 2577, making her the second-ranked woman in the world at the
time, after her sister Judit Polgár. Polgar went on to win ten Olympic medals
(5 Gold, 4 Silver and 1 Bronze) and four Women's World Championships. She has
not played in official competition since 2006.
In 1997, Polgar founded the Polgar Chess Center in Forest Hills, New York.
In 2002 she established the Susan Polgar Foundation, which gives chess training
to children, especially girls.[2] Through her foundation she sponsors the
National Invitational for Girls, National Open Championship for Girls, World
Open Championship for Girls, All-Star Girl's Chess Team, NY City Mayor's Cup
Invitational, and Tri-State Scholastic Chess Challenge. She was briefly a
member of the executive board of the United States Chess Federation from
2007 to 2009; however, a lawsuit instigated by the defeated candidate led to
political infighting and extended litigation, and resulted in a settlement
whereby Polgar severed her affiliation with the USCF and is now a "playing
non-member". She founded the SPICE Institute in Texas in 2007 and began
coaching the Texas Tech Knight Raiders in 2007 as well. In January 2009, she
became the Co-Chairperson of the Commission for Women's Chess for the World
Chess Federation FIDE,
a position she continues to hold today.[3
