I know becoming a grandmaster is going to be really really hard but i will be a Grandmaster one day so i was just wondering if anyone had any study techniques that they could share to help me out like if you use a coach how many and what books you read what kind of games do you analyze how many do you analyze that sort of thing so can anyone post anything that would give me any ideas i would appreciate it thanks
Don't forget to exercise!
yeah all are right
and if ur a kid sigh up for chess club
13 is kind of a late start, no? I've met 9 year olds who were far stronger than I am at the game, but they still had a long ways to go before reaching GM. Chess is one of those things where if you don't start super young, you might become good, but you'll never be the best.
One of the things no one mentions here is simple intelligence. You might have an extraordinary work ethic; you might be ambitious; you might be dedicated; you might have all of the other qualities needed to reach the level of GM; and despite all of these things, you could be very bright, e.g. lawer/doctor/physicist, but still not have the intelligence to reach the top at chess.
Sorry to be the party pooper, but it's time for a reality check.
