"One of those things that distinguish us from the Neanderthals"

“One of those things that distinguish us from the Neanderthals”

By mishanp on August 6, 2010

This is how Grandmaster Michal Krasenkow describes chess in his wide-ranging responses to reader questions at the Crestbook website. Other topics include phoney titles, the “theorisation” of chess and Krasenkow’s thoughts on emigrating from Russia to live in Poland.
