Over the years , having trained several kids, giving chess lessons, practicing , participating in FIDE tournaments, meeting coaches, World champions, a piece of wisdom obtained is " You can know the rules of the games, but can't master it ".It needs several years of dedication, passion, recognition of pattern skills, tactics etc.
When I meet few people they happen to ask me , is weekend practice sufficient ? The simple answer is it needs every day's practice by means of puzzle solving, online games, using apps, practice openings, end games, best moves ,analysing games etc. Daily practice adds to the skill,which has to be developed and nurtured.
I would quote if you are a chess player and have a zeal " You have to play chess only on the day you brush you teeth" funnily.
Remember " The Tanjore Brahadeeswara temple was not built in a single day ". There is no second option for practice.
The achievers also have academic pressure, family pressure, financial pressure and the list is endless.
Finally - the journey is important and every step taken in the day counts. It is better to work for 5 min/day than keeping idle.
