Can I guaranteed to grow from a child genius

"The Nutty Professor"

There once was a young Hungarian scientist, psychologist Laszlo Polgar.

Polgar was convinced that talent - this is not an innate characteristic and that he instilled education. This belief system was influenced by the works of the American psychologist John B. Watson. Polgar studied the biographies of famous geniuses such as Mozart and Gauss, and concluded that the children were from an early age may show unusual results if they are systematically and intensively trained.

Laszlo Polgar studying giftedness, writes articles and books on the subject. He was confident that from any child can make a genius. His work, he attracts the attention of a young girl Clara Altberger, and after a long correspondence to marry her.

How did you meet with your partner?

Chess

Which area to choose for their future geniuses? Laszlo initially focused on mathematics, but later changed his mind. And I chose chess.

Why chess? Laszlo himself says that chess can be from the first day to evaluate the success of a child, because children are constantly competing with each other.

More players are fond of saying that chess - a fusion of science, sports and art.

• The science: players develop hundreds of opening variations in cabinet silence to surprise his opponent. Now, with the advent of supercomputers, many parties completed another level of domestic preparations.
• Sport: often opponents are sitting on more than 10 hours over the board.
• Art: when chess player sacrifices almost all its shapes and wins using a subtle combination of motive. No wonder chess puzzles called sketches.

It only remains to add that he Laszlo is not a strong player.

Sofia

The most "weak" child Polgar family. Therefore, short of her achievements:

• International Master among men;
• № 6 in rating chess players;
• world champion among girls under 14 years;
• Vice world champion among boys under 14 years old;
• Olympic Champion.

In the video, she plays the famous Victor Korchnoi:

Susan (Zsuzsa)

Another daughter Laszlo. She went far beyond his sister:

• world champion in women's 1996-1999;
• international grandmaster among men;
• Number 1 in the women's rankings (for the first time took this position in 15 years);
• five-time Olympic champion;
• world champion among girls under 16 years old (12 years old).

Susan takes interviewed a young world champion Magnus Carlsen:

Judit

Another person at the site Laszlo to reassure the world champion he has raised. Here he is, ready to genius. But such was the father Polgar. He makes all the necessary settings, "bug fixes" and a new release. He wants to make her daughter a world champion among men!

Meet the youngest, the most gifted sister - Judit Polgar.

Judith - the greatest chess player of all time. It did not exist and there is no woman who could get close to her achievements at the chessboard. See for yourself:

• player number 8 ranking in the men's (2005);
• the youngest grandmaster among men (15 years, in 1991, exceeded the achievement of Robert Fischer);
• victory over the nine world champions (Karpov, Kasparov, Spassky, Smyslov, Topalov, Anand and others);
• Olympic champion.

Achievements could be much more, but Judith almost did not play with women. It principally competes only with men. Only the best of men!

Judith defeats Garry Kasparov in a historic match, "Russia against the rest of the world":

"Tr... hni normality"

That was the slogan lived Laszlo. Well, I think so, at least.

• He married in the framework of a scientific experiment.
• I wrote a bunch of books that have been criticized, and then went and raised by its system of three geniuses.
• Hungary struggled with the socialist system, where home schooling of children was forbidden. He pushes it all means, communicating with social security services and other "vampires".
• Judith made for the right to play men, while officials insisted that it churned light of victory among women.

Is it normal?

sorry for the children

Someone in comments sure to write that, yes, of course, the genius, but at what cost? Coaching (often forcibly) from an early age, specialization, home schooling (none of the sisters did not go to school).

But the sisters grew up and turned into a clumsy monsters who only know how to move the pieces. All of them successfully married and raising children. Polgar sisters make a career, touring around the world, there are other outstanding people, is a national hero of the country.

They took away his childhood? Sisters themselves say there. They are very grateful to their "abnormal" parents.

What do you think? How do you feel about the very early education of children, coaching a child to a narrow specialty? What is your opinion about home schooling? Share in the comments.
