He had three daughters, the youngest was "only" an IM, but one of her tournament results was so astonishing people still refer to it as "the sack of Rome". ( https://www.chess.com/blog/damafe/the-sack-of-rome-magistral...).

Sofia is the middle daughter - reportedly the most talented.

Judith being the youngest had that kill instinct at an early age.

The sibling dynamic is something I did not appreciate until I had kids of my own.

I feel like there's a bit of irony in using the word "talent" in light of what László Polgár's work was attempting to demonstrate.

Curious about what sibling dynamics you've observer.

I'm the oldest child, and my youngest sibling definitely doesn't have, "that kill instinct".
