Were the comments supportive or derisive of the pencil dad? Because he seems delusional and stupid.

There were a lot of people linking the post to their friends, and that's how it got on the front pages, but there weren't any substantial comments at all (which is why I didn't translate any). So I can't really tell if people are like, "Wow, check this out, he's a smart guy." Or if people are like, "Wow, check this out, what a load of horseshit."

Pencil dad is partly right. A kid needs to learn to stand for themself and to tell white lies. The grandiose part was delusional.

Professional chess players often recommend regular exercise, because keeping your body in good physical condition helps your brain work better too. Bobby Fischer exercised three hours a day.
