Make Me a Genius

If you put your mind to it, and really want it, you will achieve it. Adding to the previous blog, the case of a Russian women being a professional at chess can show us that geniuses are not necessarily born, but can be made. She said that hard work is required to become a genius, and in her case, her father taught her to play chess since she was a little girl. When you do things repeatedly, you then do not have to think about how to do them, and this is exactly what happened to this woman. She trained appropriately and she achieved what she wanted; beat men at chess. She does this technique called chunking, in which she takes in the information in the chess board by chunks and this helps her remembers it. They did several experiments with her and her result were impressive. So can genius’ be made?
