All work and [little] play...

"In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was Genius. If the task of criticism is somehow to explain, or make guesses, or lead interesting speculations as to how works come to be or how they do what they do, the use of the term 'genius' must be eschewed. It reveals nothing. [...] Sometimes our use of the term 'genius' implies that we believe that there is a group of people with some fantastic natural capability to produce thoughts or objects out of thin air. [...] Bobby Fischer, the chess player, is commonly represented [...] as a unworldly genius. [...] And yet, for many years of his life, Fischer spent up to fourteen hours a day studying chess. The ten years before the world championship match that he won were spent with a chessboard by the bedside and stacks of chess books in every room. [...] Wittgenstein produced two extraordinary works of philosophy, but those works were the products of long, hard, sometimes disillusioning, years of thought and study."
