| Abstract | At the age of six, Nigel was already demolishing his father at the chess board, and at 16 he became the youngest International Chess Master in history. This program shows the price of such achievement: the effort to give his brothers enough attention, the strains on the parental relationship that eventually led to divorce, the uneven academic career of the boy so outstandingly gifted in one very specialized mental endeavor. |
