Jenna and I had a relaxing Sunday afternoon yesterday in which we watched a documentary about the woman who beat Bobby Fischer's record to become the youngest person ever to achieve the title of grandmaster: Hungary's Judit Polgar.

We watched footage of her game against Garry Kasparov, the top player in the world at the time. Polgar was seriously outplayed, but around move 35 Kasparov made a blunder that would have allowed Polgar to draw the game.

That is, she might have drawn the game had Kasparov not broken the "touch-move" rule and moved his piece back after having set the piece down.

Polgar couldn't believe her eyes, but there were no eyewitnesses, and it would have been her word against his.

A rumor began to spread, however, and Kasparov went around trying to rally people against Polgar, insisting that the accusation was a lie. It turned out that video footage existed, though, and there were Kasparov's fingers, letting go of the piece.

But given the way the rules work, by that time it was too late to challenge the outcome, and Kasparov remained the winner of the game.

It's a fascinating film. Polgar grew up in communist Hungary, which means in considerable poverty.

Her father, determined nevertheless for his girls to achieve greatness, began reading biographies of geniuses to try to figure out their secrets. From there he devised the program of chess study that made them international superstars.

That may seem a bit eccentric, but the fact is, there is real value in what Judit's father did. Ben Settle is always recommending the biographies of great men to his subscribers.

The great Russell Brunson is the same way. He loves, and it's safe to say is obsessed with, old success books and learning everything he can from them.

I've been a fan of Russell ever since I bought a book of his for $8, followed what it said, and, well, let's just say I generated a lot more than $8.

Russell has taken what he learned, and created something out of this world for people like you and me -- particularly if, two months into 2026, we haven't accomplished anything we'd hoped to.

This will jolt you in the best possible way.

Benjamin Franklin said most people die at 25 but aren't buried until 75.

Let that not be you.

Imitate the greats, as Russell does, and observe your own results for yourself:
