"Judith Polgar is an icon for chess, not only as the strongest female player of all time but also due to her aggressive style. She was one of the few players for example to play the King's Gambit at the highest level. The documentary on her amazing chess career was good but a bit too focused on her rivalry with Kasparov, leaving many other very interesting topics untouched. What about her reaching top ten, her decision to withdraw from women tournaments, her matches against other top players, the candidates tournament and the list goes on...."
