QUEEN OF CHESS | JUDIT POLGAR



Judit Polgár is finally coming to Netflix 👑♟️

What many people think is a movie is actually a powerful documentary.

🎬 Queen of Chess tells the real story of Judit Polgár, the greatest female chess player in history — a woman who refused to play in women-only events and chose to compete directly against the world’s best men.

From the age of 12, Judit challenged a male-dominated chess world, faced skepticism and sexism, and went head-to-head with legends like Garry Kasparov for over a decade.

This documentary explores: 🧠 A radical family experiment to create geniuses.

🔥 Breaking barriers in a sport ruled by tradition

🏆 Becoming the youngest Grandmaster ever, surpassing Bobby Fischer

🤝 Rivalries, victories, and unexpected respect

🎞️ World premiere: Sundance 2026

📺 Streaming on Netflix – February 6, 2026

This is not just a chess story.

It’s a story about courage, intelligence, and refusing limits. ♟️💥
