Or is it the other way around? Does chess interferes with studies ? :)

The above is the rating graph of a participant taking part in the current GACC tournament. She is WIM Qianyun Gong, presumably the only participant from China. She hit a peak of 2374 before nose diving to around ELO 2200. She attained her highest ELO rating at the age of 20 so I am speculating the down trend was due to university studies? chess-benefitsjpg

It’s been said chess complements studies. I agree with this but only at a non-competitive level. Chess develops the person’s mental faculties such skill in logical thinking and concentration. Of course there are a host of other benefits found from countless studies. Just try Googling it!.

For competitive chess, however, finding the right balance between work, studies and/or chess is a difficult thing, Despite what has been said in the comment section, I don’t believe there are many chess players have achieved a good harmonious balance between any combination of 2 out 3 of these elements.
