An incredible story of a young woman overcoming incredible odds and hardships to become a champion chess player. Her dad got her interested in Chess at a young age - and her mother also did her part to help her manage how to behave when she won. She faced sexism and anti-Semitism yet persevered! Her story is an inspirational story and gives me hope that with her incredible grit she was able to succeed. She has gone on to pay it forward by setting up a non=profit for young people to learn the game of chess. An incredible story that is well-told - heartfelt and inspiring!
