Interesting take on the nature v nurture debate in chess...

A good read.
One thing though.I have never heard,nor can I find,anything about Judit beating Kasparov in a 2002 match,as mentioned in the article.Perhaps they meant a game in some tourney?Or they meant Karpov,who she did beat in a match although I don't know if that was in 2002.
