Local Family Sees Polgar Inspiration At Chess Tournament
The family met international chess celebrity Polgar which motivated tighter study. Kindergarten through 12th grade entrants faced strict qualifications needing two tournaments and two points each in the season from September to March. Lawrence was well represented, with many players from Free State and Lawrence High. Chess tends to root in the young, with fewer distractions in elementary school before junior high and high school lead some to drop out for sports or other interests.
