Hello Everyone,
This is first time when I'm writing in a forum page. Actually I want some help from you guys. I am good in chess and I'm 24 years old, and I want to be a professional player mean rated one. So any chess professional or rated player can tell me that I can be a professional or I can't and should I follow this line or its too late for me? I don't know the procedure to be a rated player. So I want to know.
Please help me out to this. Its a question about my future.

CC Aman as much as i know u have to play rated toun. and within 6 mounths u hve to defeat 3 rated players.It doesn't matter how many toun. u hve played. The only thing is within 6 mounths u hve to defeat 3 rated players but i m not sure per 2-3 din mei bta duu gaa ok.or chess ke liye u don't hve to cc ur age.It's just the hard word u do to become more gud at ur game.i give u an eg:- my chess sir who tought me chess was a boxer but after a major accident (he fall from his bike ) his right hand was broken. Doctors said that now he cant use his right hand but it took him 4 to 5 years to recover but he has to left boxing. So he started chess an in 6 years only he got a rating of 2016. He dont even know wat the chess is when he started playing n now he is so gud in chess.ok bye i hve to go take care
