Queen of Chess (https://festival.sundance.org/program...) is a documentary about Judit Polgár (https://www.chess.com/players/judit-p...) , a Hungarian girl who revolutionized the sport's patriarchal culture to become the greatest woman chess player of all time.


We sit down with Judit Polgár and director Rory Kennedy (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0448311/) to discuss how Judit knew Rory was the right person to tell her story, Rory's arduous hunt for archival footage, Judit's special bond with her sisters, playing chess blindfolded against Alec Baldwin, and the connection between punk music and chess.
