But necessarily. Laslo Polgar tried to prove he could raise chess prodigies by teaching them from very young. His daughters became great chess players, Judit even beating Kasparov on a occasion.
However they did not have a laying curve that exceeded other people spending all of their time at chess. And they grew up as quite level headed individuals.
So one can’t make a prodigy but spending much time learning something makes you better at it.
Yes but I doubt Polfar dedicated 8 hours a day to a single child at the age of 3 on. Plus, I doubt any of his kids are a 1555 elo when they were under 4 years old.
