I was just curious to know whether thare any children of GM's who play chess / are GM's themselves too?
Another question which maybe somewhat related to the above is - are chess skills / talents hereditary?
Thanks!
Nopes, they don't. I know this for a fact.
Thanks to both of you!
Grandmasters don't have children! They would need to marry to do that, and they have hard enough time finding a date.
You're most welcome!

Almira Skripchenko - WGM, French Champ 2015, Daughter
My uncle is a GM and his daughter likes watching other people play chess, but doesn't like to actually play. Go figure.
