So much respect for his father. This talent would had never been found if his family didn’t support him like they did.

The interviewer, Bob Simon, was the perfect pick for this interview. He literally didn't know when a game of Chess was over and who won. LOL!

This is fascinating. One of the most interesting facts of this report is that they found a McDonald’s with a working ice cream machine.
