Hungary's Prime Minister is asking the world's greatest ever female chess player, Judit Polgár, if she is prepared to be Hungary's next President. [The Hungarian Parliament recently voted to effectively remove the current President from office several years before his term was due to expire. ] Polgár is an absolute legend not only in Hungary but throughout the chess world for her ground-breaking play and struggle, as a woman chess player, to be taken seriously. A remarkable person for sure. There is a great documentary on her, The Queen of Chess, - sadly on Netflix - which is well worth watching if you get the chance. She is an inspired choice for President. #chess #Polgár #hungary https://www.reuters.com/world/hungarys-pm-magyar-ask-chess-champion-judit-polgar-become-president-2026-07-19/
