Susan Polgar has challenged society’s views on women. When she was a young girl society though that only men could play chess, but Susan shoed them otherwise. Susan Polgar was born in 1969, and currently lives in New York. She has become the best chess player in the world, at 21 years of age she was the number one chess player between 600 male players. She developed her extraordinary brain when she was a young girl. Her father wanted her to excel in mathematics, but when she accidentally found chess she found, her father fomented her with everything he could. When she was young she practices 6 hours a day memorizing strategies and games, it became her obsession. Her constant practice made new connections in her brain. When Susan’s brain was scanned it showed that when she plays chess she uses the same area the brain responsible for face recognition, she recognizes chess as fast and accurate as she can remember a face. Susan beat an US world champion in 60 seconds. She uses intuition during the games; she trusts her experience and her learned abilities. A person can become a genius with determination and lots of practice.
