Polgar's experiment means nothing. He had to be super smart to even design such an experiment and execute it.... By extension, his offspring would be predisposed for excelling...He should have tried the local orphanage, pick 3 random black kids, and turn them into chess champions. Then you can say hard work beats genetics. Otherwise it's just a meaningless stunt...
@@zibba007 How many back chess major tournament champions can you name? How many of top 20 world chess players r black? Top 50? If Polgar all of sudden pulled 3 out of his ass that would b a dramatic accomplishment. But making 3 white chess champions out of white kids with academic genetics is like taking a 7 foot black athlete and pretending that he had to work harder than Lawry to get into NBA...
Can someone explain the point that Mr. Ericsson was making at 50:10 ?
Great! Thanks

10.000 hours is almost 10 years of doing something 8 hours a day!
I know you left this comment 9 months ago, but I just wanted to say your math is way off. It's almost exactly 3 years of 8 hour days.
Rip..

Why “black” kids?

10,000 hours of deliberate practice does diddly squat...
