Queen of the Game of Kings
</hdr><body>
<p>By MICHAEL QUINN/Reported by Wendy Cole

<p> "Sometimes it feels like a sport, sometimes it feels like
art, sometimes it feels like a job," says Hungarian chess grand
master JUDIT POLGAR. And sometimes it must feel like homework;
last year at 15 she became the youngest grand master ever,
checkmating U.S. ace Bobby Fischer's record by more than a
month. Now in Manhattan for the U.S. Chess Festival, the leading
female competitor will also play the kids of Harlem's Raging
Rooks -- simultaneously -- during a charity "chessathon." World
chess champ Gary Kasparov has mocked the idea that a woman will
ever stand in his place. Like they say in New York, Gary: Watch
ya' back!
