It's important, according to me, to train in small doses so as to not lose the joy of playing chess.

The essential thing to do is practise often and, in case of a doubt, to consult a trainer. ~ Viswanathan Anand

It was a way of carrying yourself, the bluster of claiming to go to any length for your relatives, to love and be loved more than others loved and were loved.
