“Chess has definitely given me a lot more than the ability to play the game. It has taught me that you always have to fight till the very end and not give up, which I believe is an important quality in life in general as well. It has also taught me that to get what you want you have to do a lot of hard work. The habit to work for my dreams has been really helpful in school as in life in general. And I would also bring out that the 5 hour chess games have been a great practice to sit and think for a really long time. It is especially useful now as I have exams at school where i have to write for 4 hours in a row.“
