The Decision to Pursue College
The decision to pursue college was not a conscious choice for Daniel Naroditsky. The expectation from his parents was that he would take a gap year after high school to explore chess, but ultimately attend a respectable college and find a different profession. Daniel himself could not see himself playing classical chess as a profession and had other interests. He wanted to go to college, experience other subjects, and have the social experience. So, it wasn't a decision he had to make or regret later.
