    Really? I xant believe any 3 year old could pull over like a 700. Does this kid actually exist?

    *Edit: Fucking hell. He’s real. Anish Sarkar. He has a grandmaster coach and practices 8 hours a day. Kids going to quickly become unbeatable and burn out quicker than Bobby Fisher.

      But necessarily. Laslo Polgar tried to prove he could raise chess prodigies by teaching them from very young. His daughters became great chess players, Judit even beating Kasparov on a occasion.

      However they did not have a laying curve that exceeded other people spending all of their time at chess. And they grew up as quite level headed individuals.

      So one can’t make a prodigy but spending much time learning something makes you better at it.

        Yes but I doubt Polfar dedicated 8 hours a day to a single child at the age of 3 on. Plus, I doubt any of his kids are a 1555 elo when they were under 4 years old.
