Alhan Gençay’s genius is beyond dispute. Well, that’s what his mum tells him anyway. The trolls on Twitter, by contrast, are less bullish about Alhan’s prospects to become one of the world’s great minds. To find out if there really is a genius hiding deep within him, Alhan speaks to the best chess player of all time, Garry Kasparov. Then he rings up alleged comedy genius and possible BAFTA-winner, Kim Noble. Finally, Alhan pits himself against the animal kingdom with the help of an expert in animal cognition and a friend to all crows, Professor Nicola Clayton.
