i always thought it was chess is a sea were a gnat may bath and an elephant may drown
It's definitely "a gnat may drink". There's even a book named after the saying...

I have to say, I am tickled by the image of a gulping gnat.

Remember the Ark? Yeah, well I built that, actually.
The guy who built the ark ended up as a drunk. Sorry to hear that about you, T-Misha.

If you study chess for 30 hours a day for the next ten years then the GM title should be no trouble at all. For those who say you can't study 30 hours a day, Its difficult to study 30 hours a day but not totally impossible. You just need to be on a jet traveling west. By the time you get to be GM you will have logged a lot of frequent flyer miles.
There's only 24 hours in a day.... how can you study chess for "30 hours a day" lol

Funny... Whenever I'm playing chess, I'm doing it because I want to do it rather than anything else, because I'm having so much fun doing it. Funny how you would call that a "waste of time".

Hi,
Been Playing chess from my college days [ I mean friendly matches] and was serious on settling in Engineering career. Now after that (at the age of 32) playing serious chess [tournaments in clubs] and of course dreaming about getting GM title. Why getting GM is not possible at this age? Is it a impossible thing? If not so how much minimum time and effort one should put on daily basis towards that goal? [including theory and practice]. How the time is shared among the Theory and Practical games?
sounds like spamton ngl
IT'S ALWAYS POSSIBLE, AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, THAT'S THE REAL QUESTION, DO YOU?
YOU CAN DO IT!
