Nurture

This is a really interesting article about nature vs. nurture when it comes to expert chess players.

I'm always a bit skeptical about this sort of science, but I have to admit that I like the idea that nurture has a much bigger part to play in all of our lives than we realize.

Yeah I read the soccer article (they mention it in there that kids born in Jan and Feb are more likely to be soccer stars) and that was super interesting too. But like you said, it's hard to simplify anything down that much. Any special perspective on it all being over there?
