From Susan, To Sam
In May, 1997, I received a telephone call from Zsuzsa Polgar. I was a bit surprised that she called me, because I had not heard from her in a while.
She asked me to come to see her in her private apartment, then located at 95-60 Queens Boulevard, Apartment 807, Rego Park, Queens, NY 11374.
Naturally, I rushed right over.
When I arrived at her apartment, she invited me in. After a few drinks (but I only drink coffee), she told me that her new book “Queen of the Kings Game” had just come out and she wanted help and advice on how to set up a website to advertise it.
I gave her some basic instruction on how to create a website and I agreed to create a page on my website advertising her book. I immediately created the page. That page is still up:

She presented me with an autographed copy of her new book, plus she gave me a copy of a book her father had published in Hungary that included a photograph of Zsuzsa and myself together.
(Unfortunately, after I got married, my new wife threw out my copy of that second book and I have never been able to find another copy. It is not for sale on Amazon or anywhere else that I can find. No, it is not the famous Polgar problem book. It is a small sized book, about 3x5, in Hungarian.)
I still have the autographed copy of the book “Queen of the Kings Game” that Zsuzsa gave me. It is among my most cherished possessions. Here is a copy of the title page, with Zsuzsa’s autograph on it.

As you can see, it says, “To Sam, Polgar Zsuzsa”.
