take three children. don't select them from 'talented ones', but instead take the three you happen to have yourself. decide to make them genius. at what? doesn't matter. but when one of them finds a chess board, you decide that chess is as good as any other discipline.

Originally posted by AlexanderAlekhine4½ years since I learned how the pieces moved. I don't play OTB, but I'm currently rated 2056 here.
You started in 2005? 4 years of chess or more?
What is your otb rating? Could you give us your uscf or fide number so we could look?
You say hard work, so let's see what your 4 years of hard work has accomplished.

The proof is in the pudding as they say. Very good post wormwood, although I disagree
as to which Polgar sister is the most "Talented".
