I've always been curious.
LMAO Shnobel prize to U for this awesome question of the day.
Nigel Short's dad plays in a Midlands league. He is in the lower strata of club chess.

i think he is a normal dude
And magnus developed on his own
Father played a very important role for him. Henrik was always there to provide the best for magnus, nurturing the young talent.
His dad peaked at 2095. It looks like he hasn't played in about 4 years. His 2 sisters peaks were 1947 & 1602. It looks like they stopped playing about 9 - 10 years ago.
