Hello friends, I am still a complete n00b at this game, but with all the big brain people becoming GM at 13,14 and 15, with lower ranks being reached even younger, do I still have the opportunity to become a NM/IM?. School is a breeze for me a I am always top at my class, and I have many hours of free time to practice chess(4-6 hours that I usually waste). Is there still enough time? Or am I simply too late?
Edit: spelling
Of course, Yasser seirawan started when he was 12. He become GM, went into the top 100 players.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasser_Seirawani would reccomend playing classical
i want from 1000 to 1820 in 10 months by playing a lot of classical
thank you for this. I play way too much blitz, and I am starting to think that this is the reason I am losing
As long as you get a good education in another topic which earns you a living, in case things dont work out as expected, go ahead, become world chess champion!
I think you could even become a nm if you started much later.
Yeah I agree. I've gone from 1450 to 1950 in a year. This site is great for chess improvement if you put in the work and know what to work on. Do lots of puzzles. Play lots of games and analyse them. Also you should check out a youtube channel called ChessNetwork that does analysis of chess games and has a series called Beginner to ChessMaster which should take you to 1400/1500 and maybe/hopefully higher. You sound smart so apply urself and it'll be worth it in the end.
I have 11 years old and training since 2019... in other years i played on these accounts:
@regis_junior1 and
@reginho95 too...
But i has learned to play at 7 y.o and just in end of 2016 i winned my first game (at
chess.com) now i train just 15min per day and playing classical i see an good rating. you need to train who you need if why yiou se the same ranting ever... Im in Brazil an country where dont have many chess texts and etc... im using the lichess insights and it is very helpful
There is absolutely no reason why you can't.
Believe in yourself.
Go after what you want.
