Hey Kerry, nice link, thanks! Just one minor point: when posting a link, give us a clue what it is all about. If Hans hadn't commented, I wouldn't have gone to the link.
Now, this is interesting. Bareev expresses regrets about pursuing a life dedicated to chess.... yet he is teaching chess to others, as if to say to them, chess is worthwhile to study. But is it worthwhile if there is a chance you can pursue much more lucrative avenues rather than chess and achieve better success?
What makes it even more interesting is that top level chess players are recruited for financial careers, Mark Bluvshtein being a prime example. Bareev could possibly pursue that, but instead he is teaching chess.

Pargat, do you have no regrets in your life? Last week you insulted master Zeromskis and now Canada's top player. Grandmaster Bareev achieved great success at chess being the World Junior Champion.and winning top tournaments. Bluvshtein switched from chess to a financial career at age 23. Did Bareev, when in his twenties, have an option for a financial career in Russia in the 1980s?? Bareev came to Canada at age 50. He is making money teaching chess, better than the majority of immigrants working in a factory or fast food restaurant.

As to whether or not he had other opportunities in his 20s, I would most certainly think so.
Zeromskis implied that we should take competing in chess to be as simple as running a race. I merely pointed that out and stated it is an invalid comparison.

Merely a mention of what the column was about, what is the big deal? Are we all supposed to know Cecil Rosner, you mentioned him. More of us would know who GM Bareev is, don't you think?

OK, point taken. The announcement that Cecil Rosner has been granted chess column space in the Globe & Mail was prominent here on CT over the last week (or 2 ?).
I have never met Cecil Rosner so I should not presume he is well known here at CT. I simply thought the subject line was sufficient - clearly I was mistaken.

I hope you can understand when I explain it this way: we all have learned that when we check our email and see something from someone we know and trust, if it contains a link to a web site and there is no explanation or text to even verify that this really is our trusted friend sending the link, we should NOT click the link.
And if emails can be hacked and misrepresented, so can CT posts. So all I am asking, of you and anyone else here, is that if you post a link, put some text there, some comment or explanation, to let us all know it really is you posting it. Just putting a link all by itself, even with some subject line, should be taken by us all as a red flag.
That's all I really meant, I sure didn't mean to single you out or imply anything about you personally. I think you are very computer-savvy and can understand this.
