Open-minded Options

The story of Judit Polgar is remarkable. Her father decided to experiment on all of his children to find out whether genius was inherent or could be taught. As babies, Judit and her siblings were given chess pieces to play with and were told stories or daring-do involving kings, queens, knights and castles. She was introduced to the game of chess at a very young age and fell in love with the game, receiving tuition on all the key strategies and openings. She was home schooled by her parents in Hungary, despite the disapproval of the authorities, but Judit and her sister all became very strong players.

By the time she was fifteen Judit was a grandmaster, at the time the youngest player to achieve that status, breaking Bobby Fischer’s record. Although never herself holding the world championship, in her career she managed to beat eleven current or former world champions.

I have been thinking about this because in the last ten days I have played (and lost) my first game of chess in the Sixth Form Centre, and also been thinking about the options process – boys and girls choosing the subjects they want to pursue.

Judit Polgar’s story reminds us that girls can succeed in male-dominated environments and there is no reason why they should not take on subjects where the majority of pupils have tended to be boys. Likewise, I hope all the boys will be open-minded about the subjects they want to pursue and not simply follow a perceived gender divide.

Over the half-term I will be catching up with Queen’s Gambit – those of you familiar with the series will recognise the link with the story above.

I will also be relaxing with some reading, which is one of my great pleasures in the holidays and I very much hope each and every one of our pupils will get through a book in the next fortnight. A recommended reading list has been put together by the English department – with a few additions from special guests. At the end of a long term there is bound to be some TV watching and video gaming, but across the fortnight I hope your families are also able to carve out some reading time for everyone.
