Written by Pat's Papers | Tuesday, 23 March 2010 10:06 AM

The San Francisco Chronicle profiles a 14-year-old boy with some serious game, chess game that is.

Says his enthusiastic chess club director: “He’s amazing. He needs to be cloned and his DNA distributed to the youth of America.”

There’s a funny article in the Toronto Star about Naroditsky. The headline says it all: “How I was humiliated by a grade-school chess prodigy.”
