A Hungarian girl dreams of conquering international men’s chess. After a 15-year battle against world champion Garry Kasparov and her domineering father, Judit Polgár revolutionizes the sport’s patriarchal culture to become one of the greatest chess prodigies in history and the greatest woman chess player of all time.

One girl dismantles a centuries-old male hierarchy through sheer tactical brilliance and relentless willpower. This intimate portrait captures her grueling psychological warfare against both a dominating father and the world's most intimidating grandmasters.
