Article brings up the Polgar sisters. Their father wasn't specifically a chess fanatic; he was more interested in the power of education as a whole. Here's their (rather charming) daily schedule: 4 hours of specialist study (for us, chess) 1 hour of a foreign language. Esperanto in the first year, English in the second, and another chosen at will in the third. At the stage of beginning, that is, intensive language instruction, it is necessary to increase the study hours to 3 – in place of the specialist study – for 3 months. In summer, study trips to other countries. 1 hour of general study (native language, natural science and social studies) 1 hour of computing 1 hour of moral, psychological, and pedagogical studies (humour lessons as well, with 20 minutes every hour for joke-telling) 1 hour of gymnastics, freely chosen, which can be accomplished individually or outside of school. The division of study hours can, of course, be treated elastically.
