It was 1985. In Hungary, Judit Polgár, who was nine, was playing chess with her sister Sofia, who was eleven.

But they weren't moving the chess pieces. The girls weren't even looking at the board.
但她们没有移动棋子。女孩们甚至都没看棋盘。
They were playing "blind" chess. They called out their instructions and their father moved the pieces.

Judit, Sofia, and their older sister,Susan, were already fantastic chess players. Their love of chess began when Susan was four years old.
