what makes a genius?

You don't have to love chess to follow this tale through the chess world; you have to love a good story about what makes people (not to mention Automatons) tick. The characters are reminiscient of Crime and Punishment (and I mean that as a compliment) with their murky motivations. What makes this even more outstanding is that it is based on a real chess caper nearly pulled off but foiled by Poe...
