Judit Polgar, Hungarian chess Grandmaster, was apparently raised by her parents as an experiment to prove that children could make exceptional achievements if trained in a specialist subject from a very early age. Where there conclusive results of this and has it been done elsewhere?

Studies are quite consistent that by far the single biggest predictor of whether someone becomes a highly skilled chess player is how much time they spend playing chess - and this is true even for kids whose parents forced them to play, so it's not just a case of people who are naturally talented choosing to play more. What's true for chess isn't necessarily true of other fields, though.

Notably, Judit has two sisters who went through the same training, and she isn't the one who seemed most talented as a young child - just the one who played most.
