Krauthammer on Chess

Charles Krauthammer was a well-known political commentator in the U.S. who died of cancer this past week at the age of 68. Of relevance to this blog, he was also a huge chess fan, who on more than one occasion devoted his political column to our great game. A memorial "best of" list included this column by Krauthammer on the 2016 World Chess Championship as one of ten columns they chose to memorialize.

R.I.P., and may other mainstream commentators of whatever political stripe be as generous to our game as he was.
