Put me in the 'ambivalent' camp.
When a family spends over a quarter of a million dollars...I guess the kid ought to get his piece of paper, otherwise he might be scared for life at the failure.

Just 1/5 of a US million, but it is quite an investment which will yield millions in the near future, for instance As of 2021, Magnus Carlsen's net worth is approximately $8 million. Hemant has been a key element in his son's success. Hemant knew the game of chess and had taken part in inter-corporate events. He is fascinated by the game of chess. At best his rating would be something around 1400-1500 on the Elo scale. Hemant wanted his son to be a world class chess player. For this he was ready to invest his time and financial resources. Abhimanyu's mother Swati doesn't understand chess so well, but she also was in alignment with Hemant's vision to make their son a chess wunderkid. Hemant ensured that Abhimanyu got a lot of tournaments to participate in. School wasn't given huge importance and Abhimanyu would spend a lot of his time working on his game. Hemant would speak with Abhimanyu's opponents after the games, understand where his son was going wrong, and tried to fix the issues by drawing up elaborate training programs. It can be said that Hemant is the force behind Abhimanyu becoming a world class chess talent. At the same time finances were clearly an issue, but the family did not let that be a reason for Abhimanyu slowly down. "It's like mortgage", says Hemant, who has spent close to 200,000 USD for his son's chess career till date.
