The August issue of Psyc today has a nice long article about the
Polgar sisters. There are two so-called problems, like totally
simple and the second one claims to be a 5 move mate and
shows the supposed solution but its really a 3 mover! Check it out,
so to speak🙂 I e'd the author about the boo-boo, hope the polgars
aren't totally miffed, obviously they didn't proofread it!

I should have proof read my OWN thread title! Its
Psychology Today magazine, July/August 2005.
The problems are given on page 79.

And what were the conclusions of the article? I read a book about the Polgars a while back The Polgar Sisters: Training or Genius, a book which was totally worthless, written by Cathy Forbes, with no contributiions by any of the Polgars. It didn't even try to answer the question in the title.

The exerpt looks interesting. What did you think of the rest of it? Is it worth hunting down a copy of this magazine to read?

One thing in the article, it revealed a brain scan check that can
tell if someone has the right kind of brain setup to be able to
play chess, with this scan you can predict chess performance before
they even learn to play the game.
