"How do you train chess each day? How many hours do you spend on chess? …" - IM Georgios Souleidis (2011)

"I don't actually train every day. ... Especially now more so than in the past there are long periods when I do not play. ... When I have these really long periods, I won't study every day. Generally about two, two and a half weeks before a tournament I start studying, probably about 4 to 5 hours per day." - GM Hikaru Nakamura (2011)

Top chess players and musicians typically spend 4-6 hours/day studying and practicing.

I read once where Krammnik said he studied 12 hours a day.
