norway chess is live (carlsen, firouzja, nepo...)

did o/p become grandmastr chess player by now?

do you mean costello or me? neither of us are reted
i might aim for candidate master just for fun in 10 years maybe but we'll see

lol, you don't become master just for the fun. If you have no rating and over 15 years old, then your chances to ever become master are close to 0, even if you put tons of effort on it.

wait why????? what if they study hard and learn from other grandmasters to become one??? then chess is limitless potential ?? ? ? ?/

10 might be too optimistic but hardly impossible, but unlikely

grandmasters are lightyears better than cms

imagine a casual baseball player deciding at 25 years to become a mlb player; he won't do it even if he all his life very practice hard. Its same thing in chess

still a master has some low chances to beats a grand master, but a casual player with no rating has absolute 0 chance to win vs any master.

the chance to win is calculated with the difference of rating

top = 2800 elo (maybe outdated, unsure those days)
grand master= 2500 - 2700 elo
international master = 2300 - 2400 elo
master = 2100 - 2300 elo
expert = 2000 - 2200 elo

casual player with no rating = 600-1000 elo

almost all players with rating over 2000 were already playing tournament when they were kids.

I understand now i thought it was like diablo 2 where we can train a noob to learn the skill's of a certain race but obviously it's masterful art of glory to master
