BECOME A CHESS MASTER

ISLA: Why should I?

GRAY: It's part of the plan

ISLA: Can you explain?

GRAY: This time, I'll be the mastermind. You just have to do it.

ISLA: Alright!

GRAY: It takes strong dedication to become a chess master. You'll have to spend at least 10,000 hours of constant practice.

ISLA: That long? Who will teach me?

GRAY: Pack your things and move to my home as soon as possible.

ISLA: So...

GRAY: Yap. I'm a chess master.

ISLA: Oh.

GRAY: So, pack your things and move to my home.

ISLA: Aye aye, Captain!

"Hey, tender a resignation." Gray asked.

"Oh. I can't do that; I like my work. And I'm giving money to my family." I replied.

"Hmm. If that's the case, then let's just rent the nearest apartment in your office. So, we could maximize the time."

"Mhmm!"

"Okay. Let's organize your schedule."

"Can you tell me now all the plans?" I asked.

"This time, I'll be the mastermind... and?"

"I'll be your ally."

"How many hours do you sleep?" Gray asked.

"Eight."

"Make it seven. How many minutes do you prepare for work?"

"Thirty minutes."

Then, we transferred to our chosen apartment near my work.

"You are at the office nine hours a day, from Mondays to Fridays. It only takes 10 minutes to and from your building and around 5 minutes for you to get to and leave your office."

"Yeah."

"You'll eat your breakfast in the car while I'm driving."

"We can get home at 5:15 and we have 15 minutes to eat our dinner every day."

"Mhmm! That can be."

"Then I'll start teaching you at 5:30, for 4 straight hours, and then we'll have a 10-minute break after. We'll continue at 9:40, then stop at 12 midnight. You can wake up at 7:15 if you're preparing yourself for 30 minutes."

"Alright!"

"That will give us 6 hours and 20 minutes of practice every day.

That's equivalent to 31 hours and 40 minutes in 5 days.

For weekends, I'll teach you from 8 AM to 12 noon.

We'll continue from 12:20 to 3 PM.

Then we'll have a 10-minute break after, a 15-minute dinner, another 10-minute break, and then we'll stop at 12 midnight. So, your body clock won't change.
