SHE MOVE ONE SPACE ANY DIRECTION SHE DAMN CHOOSE: Fresh off their second straight national championship win, Texas Tech chess coach Susan Polgar is taking herself and her whole team to tiny Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri, according to her "the center of chess in America."
Homeschooled in her native Budapest, Polgar was the world's best female chess player by the age of 15. In 2005, she set a Guinness World Record by playing 326 simultaneous games -- and winning 309 of those matches, with 14 draws and just three losses. She is the executive director and founder of the Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence, known as SPICE.
