- "Sometimes it feels like a sport, sometimes it feels like
- art, sometimes it feels like a job," says Hungarian chess grand
- master JUDIT POLGAR. And sometimes it must feel like homework;
- last year at 15 she became the youngest grand master ever,
- checkmating U.S. ace Bobby Fischer's record by more than a
- month. Now in Manhattan for the U.S. Chess Festival, the leading
- female competitor will also play the kids of Harlem's Raging
- Rooks -- simultaneously -- during a charity "chessathon." World
- chess champ Gary Kasparov has mocked the idea that a woman will
- ever stand in his place. Like they say in New York, Gary: Watch
- ya' back!
