al estilo de la familia Polgar / de la escuela de Polgar


Explanation:
Otro par de opciones que tal vez te puedan servir.

“Aunque mi fantasía al estilo de la familia Polgar era tentadora, resistí. Me di cuenta de que de hecho no quería XXX se convirtiera en un prodigio [un niño/niña prodigio]

“Aunque mi fantasía al estilo de la familia de maestros [ajedrecistas] Polgar era tentadora, resistí. Me di cuenta de que de hecho no quería XXX se convirtiera en un prodigio [un niño/niña prodigio]

Como indica DLyons, se trata de la hija, pero parece que son dos... por lo que me parece que tal vez usar algo “al estilo de las ajedrecistas precoces de la familia Polgar” o algo “explicativo” puede ser más claro para el público no iniciado...

Me como un alfil y un caballo... y te presento a mi reina, para que me la mates... a ver si muerdes el cebo y te dé yo el jaque mate... (lo digo de broma, que yo de ajedrez, lo único que sé... que sabía... era mover las piezas...)

Suerte.
