Grandmaster and 4-time Womens' World Chess Champion
Susan Polgar visited our chess club last night. She was in town promoting scholastic chess
(video here). She met with members of
LINC and answered questions for an hour at the
Kansas City Central Library. After her Q&A with the kids and parents at the library, she stopped by
The Westport Chess Club briefly. There she humbly signed autographs, posed for pictures, and chatted with the members. It was truly a special night, and we are so glad she chose to spend some time with us. Thank you, Susan, for your pleasant, fun visit!
