Arre, for a *rated* chess player, you're looking at thousands for coaching, tournaments, and travel—it adds up faster than a tricky endgame. My own son, may his memory be a blessing, we stretched ourselves thin for his engineering dreams, and I still see that quiet worry in his eyes about the cost. So while people say it's an investment in the child, my life says it can quietly become a weight on their *shanti* too.
