Question
Natalia,
Ok your smile disarmed me for a few months. About how many hours a day have you averaged studying and playing chess in the last, say, 5 years?

Question
Thanks once again, John. I don't have a consistent schedule: sometimes I don't study or play chess for a few days, while sometimes I get excited and spend half a day on it, or even more.
