       Polgar Superstar Chess: an Exciting, Quick and Cheap Hexagonal V
       ariant from Hungary

       We all know of the famous Polgar sisters and perhaps their
       father Dr. Lazlo Polgar. What is unknown is perhaps one of the
       great new up and coming variants has been published by this
       legendary chess aficionado. Known as "Polgar Superstar Chess,"
       this variant brilliantly packs all of the fun and depth of chess
       into a quicker, perhaps slicker variant. Unlike most chess
       variants, this one is extremely cheap for what it is, with a
       portable magnetic set going for just $15 on chessusa.com (the
       link to buy is below), and so far I have not regretted this
       purchase a single bit. With tournaments in Hungary and Israel
       (where a good portion of my family hails from), this game has
       started to become popular, and for good reason. Custom set ups
       seen in Sittuyin make for infinite replay-ability, and the
       strange shape of the board coupled with some enhanced/detracted
       piece values make tactics interestingly refreshing. It is on
       average a quicker game then your standard match of chess, but is
       nevertheless extremely intellectually stimulating. The game is
       equally interesting in the medium of puzzle construction, and
       many puzzles have been crafted for you to try in the link to the
       official website below, which I highly recommend you check out.
       I even like the intriguingly different Eastern European style
       pieces, which can be used by similarly frugal teenage
       enthusiasts in homemade variants!
       Overall, for the chess enthusiast, whether as an exercise in
       tactics or a game to play competitively, I highly recommend this
       game. If anyone has any personal affiliation with the esteemed
       doctor, I would ask if you could ask him to join our forum, as
       his insights pertaining to his fine game would be wonderful.
