Cliffs:

- Believed in the phrase "geniuses are made, not born"
- Decided to conduct an experiment on his future children, basically groom them to become chess masters from a very young age
- Found a willing wife that would go along with his experiments and birthed 3 daughters
- Oldest child began defeating adults at 4 and a half years old, middle child was a world champion at age 14 and a few years later a grandmaster
- Youngest started beating him at age 5, became the youngest grandmaster at the time at 15 years old
- Apparently all of daughters looked at their life with fond memories despite having their fate decided for them since birth


Anybody ever think of this strategy when contemplating raising kids? For example, if you're 6'5, marry a 6'2 wife, and from birth teach the kid nothing but basketball, put him in all the basketball camps, make him dream basketball in his sleep, put mini basketball hoops in every room, posters of Michael Jordan everywhere then boom 19 years later NBA.

Trained to do one specific task well since birth and end up being great. Goku, Namek.

Are those children only geniuses at chess?
