 | | GrahamClayton: Zsofia Polgar moved to Canada due to her husband's career. She is apparently a fully qualified interior decorator. |

Dec-24-08 | | slomarko: interior decorator? what is that? |
|
Mar-11-09 | | Katu: @slomarko: you know, the one who designs all the interior of a house. From lighting to furniture. @the topic: She began playing again, gave a simul with her sisters... she beat me in 28 moves. |
|
Apr-07-09 | | Dredge Rivers: At least she's never sued the USCF, unlike her sister! |
|
Apr-07-09 | | MaxxLange: the oldest Polgar sister
interesting that Judit, the youngest, became the strongest player, reaching the top ten rated list in the '90s |

Wasn't Sigmoidal one of the Three Stooges? Or am I thinking of Marx Brothers....? |

May-02-09 | | Raisin Death Ray: Sofie made the wrong choice when she left chess. COME BACK, PLEASE! |
|
Jul-28-09 | | Boomie: <Sofie made the wrong choice when she left chess> There are no wrong choices. She is doing good work in art and seems happy. How many of us can say that? Here's a collection of art by Sofia.
I rather like her bold use of color and van Goghish brush strokes. A post impressionist Fauvist kinda thing. Like I have any idea what that means. But it does maintain the illusion that I actually know something. http://www.sofiapolgar.com/Painting... |

 | | Open Defence: the bugs bunny version....... I can see why it got your attention <Wannabe> ... do rabbits actually go "check out the teeth on that one!" ?? |
|
Jul-31-09 | | Boomie: <WannaBe: Holy guacamole> Is that a carrot in your pocket or... |
|
Aug-01-09 | | moroloser: <Boomie> I'm not really sure... First of all, I find extremely in poor taste the "Olimpic champion and artist" claim. Second, her art it's a couple of little steps ahead of cats and clowns. But I like your "I rather like her bold use of color and van Goghish brush strokes. A post impressionist Fauvist kinda thing." Actually it does mantain the illusion that you know something! Said that, I totally agree with you, there are not wrong choices. ;-) |

Aug-01-09 | | Travis Bickle: Ah <moroloser> you're still pis#@$ Sofia beat you at blitz! ; P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txei... |
|
Aug-01-09 | | moroloser: <Travis Bickle:> Ok, killer, you got me there... She left chess for painting and I will never have the occasion to have my revenge. |
|
Nov-13-09 | | TheFocus: I swear, even if I was drunk, I could not stand looking across my beer stein at that smile. Bugsy Polgar, indeed!! |
|
Mar-02-10 | | alexapple: Sofia is unactive for many years, but she is listed on the newly published FIDE rating list, Why? |
|
Mar-02-10 | | percyblakeney: <Sofia is unactive for many years, but she is listed on the newly published FIDE rating list, Why?> Good question, the last time she was rated was in 2003 and since then she has only played two games, none of them recently. |
|
Mar-02-10 | | Travis Bickle: <TheFocus> If you seen Sofi's other attributes you wouldnt even notice her
smile! ; P |

 | | chancho: <MaxxLange: the oldest Polgar sister> Nope. Zsuzsa was born in 1969. |
|
Mar-02-10 | | Caissanist: <interesting that Judit, the youngest, became the strongest player, reaching the top ten rated list in the '90s> It turns out that, when two or more siblings play chess well enough to gain international title, it's the youngest that turns out to be the strongest about 80% of the time. We have a running list of chess siblings on the Ton Timman page. |
|
Mar-08-10 | | MaxxLange: <chancho> informed! thanks |
|
Jul-10-10 | | Astardis: She's again listed as an active player in the 2010 rating list. Apparently she played 5 rated games in the Israeli National league. She even played (and beat)Mikhail Botvinnik :) |
