Requested move[edit]

László Polgár (chess player) → László Polgár – László Polgár is a dab pg with only this article as a blue-link. Furthermore, it contains only two entries (of which the other is: "László Polgár, a Hungarian bass singer"—currently a redlink). Since Wikipedia prefers that titles go to articles and not dab pages, it would seem logical to make this the primary page. If an article for the other person is created, it could be handled simply by putting a hatnote at the top of this article with a link to [[László Polgár (singer)]] (probably using {{otheruses4}} — see Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Top links).

Odds and ends[edit]

I wish someone could find the ISBN for Bring Up Genius!. Ashibaka tock

I am also looking for this and it would be highly appreciated. --Yodamace1 16:25, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote to Susan Polgar, and she wrote back almost immediately to tell me that the book has only been published in Hungarian and Serbian. I could press her further, but I can't read either of those languages anyway. Ashibaka tock 22:07, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also wrote her, but didn't recieve a response. Thanks though. Someone should definately publish that book in English. --Yodamace1 02:26, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Finally found it. Ashibaka stealth-contributing as 24.91.16.229 04:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He "asked for a wife"??? Is he talking to God or is he just that creepy? :p Mwv2 (talk) 20:13, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bring Up Genius! now has an unofficial translation from Esperanto to English. The translation is by Gordon Tishler and was published on Scott Alexander’s blog Slate Star Codex. The post Book Review: Raise A Genius! | Slate Star Codex explains the translation, which is hosted at http://slatestarcodex.com/Stuff/genius.pdf. I don’t know if this link belongs on the article page; someone else can add it if they know it should be there. – Rory O'Kane (talk) 20:12, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Names[edit]

There were two "explanations" of the names of the sisters: "Zsuzsa (Susan), Zsófia (Sofia)". That is completly wrong, because it's not their names. What is true, that Zsuzsa is a hungarian kind-of-variant of Susan, and so with Sofia. Why I think it was wrong is that it is legal to have names like Susan and Sofia in Hungary, and so it is misleading to explain them this way (I'm Hungarian). There is no need to explain a person's name, and it's inappropriate to use a foreign variant for that purpose. So, I went forward, and removed these. Hope you agree. --Srrrgei (talk) 20:08, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chess variants[edit]

As far as I know, Polgár is also the author of a number of chess variants (including his relatively famous "star chess"). I think some information about this should be added to the article. (Unfortunately, I myself do not know enough about it and so I hope someone else can do it.) 176.73.177.18 (talk) 09:46, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
