    Dears bros & sis's, i am staying in a place where there is no clubs neither any professional player to guide me. I have developed a keen interest in this game but i don't know how will i make it by. Reading biography of carlsen,karjakin,wesley,fischer,kasparov,anand really inspired me but will i ever be able to play chess to that extend?.

    How the heck should we know how well you can play?  This is one question you're gonna have to answer for yourself.

    And I hope by "reading biography" you mean you're playing over those guys' games.  Nowadays what do you need a club for?  Play online and/or play computers.  You'll get better.  Not like when I was growing up, back in the old days when we had to trudge 10 miles through a blizzard to get to a tournament...

    Thanks sis for your valuable feed back. I don't have computer and my cellphone is really tough to play those online games,it supports browsing thats more than enough for me from a needy back ground.

    So play turn-based (ie, 3 days a move, for example).

    You can use even longer time per move, such as 14 days a move.

    Hmm, some general stuff:

    By saying your prayers

    By giving to the needy

    Treating others like you want to be treated

    That should make you a pretty good player IMO.

    Aw, don't listen to wafflle.  He just says stuff like that because he's working off some community-service hours in exchange for a recent bust. Smile

     ...and it was uphill, both ways. And I always got black. The tournament hall was just a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin to keep snow off the chess boards.

    And whenever I lost, when I got home my dad would sever off my head with a chainsaw, then dance about on my grave singing "Bohemian Rhapsody".

    But you try telling the yung people of today that...and they won't believe you!

     Yes, its too late now, our chess club folded because it could not afford the rent on the hole-in-the-ground and was forced the sell the tarp to pay for all the stolen chess pieces.

    Operating expenses were lower since they no longer had to pay for water, members could just suck on the melting snow instead. The dumber members didnt know enough to avoid the yellow snow, however.
