If you are an adult then do as you will. If you are a kid then my
advice is to study almost anything but not chess. It is pretty
thankless in the end. Which is not to say its not fun. Play for fun.
But a serious program of study is almost absurd. I know that many of
you wuill object to my saying this but I wish someone had instilled
this upon me when I was a young, but like I said you could be full
grown.
