But can I point out that with or without computer help, his competitors have a head start of many times his age in years. Yet still he beats them. He also didn't use all that much time practicing chess growing up.He is truly exceptional, and seems to be operating outside the rules of normal expertise. The advantage of online chess isn't the amount of playing it allows, it's more the technical aspects. It condenses it down to a purer form, without amateur aspects.

It can be painfully awkward not knowing critical vocabulary in the middle of a conference call of which there are many every day. Calls vary and while this is stressful it encourages further learning and therefore improves the skills of the interpreter. The realisation that no one knows everything sharpens one's intuitiveness and improves one's work. Making mistakes has proved useful to me as an interpreter.
