Can you ever give up chess?
Alexandra Kosteniuk’s Chess News & Trivia (c) 2010

Hello Everyone,

What it takes to be a swell chess teacher? Plenty actually! But the most difficult part is when the student doesn’t want to play. Here is a great video on the same situation (and more) from Chess & the Art of Orange Soda directed by Ryan Path. It’s a comedy really. But don’t go ‘duh’ at the end.

Can one grow out of chess ever?


Tell us what you think.
