I put family friends first! For a true "strong" Chess Player (and in my view any sport be it Chess or another), is one whom can sustain, accomplish and put forth such in order, ... (1st) Family, (2nd) Business / School / Education and each individuals (mine being chess) sport (3rd) ... now to one whom is able to be at high "level" within ALL three (3) in said order, that person (in my view for what its worth) has not only my respect but admiration in full. For anyone can make money and be an expert in anything but not all persons can do all THREE (3).
