The Queen of Chess - Film Screening

🎬 QUEEN OF CHESS – FILM SCREENING
September 26, Saturday
Hungarian National Gallery, 2nd floor

An extraordinary journey. A story of courage, perseverance, and pushing boundaries.

The Netflix documentary Queen of Chess tells the remarkable story of Judit Polgár: how, as a young Hungarian girl, she broke into the male-dominated world of chess, challenged prejudice, and became one of the greatest chess players of all time. Directed by Rory Kennedy, the film also offers insight into Judit’s unique family background and her memorable rivalry with Garry Kasparov.

🎤 Stay with us after the screening: Judit Polgár will join us on stage for a conversation about the film, the personal experiences behind the story, and the memories the documentary brings back for her.
