I would like to be a grandmaster one day, but I might not get there.  Regardless of whether or not I reach that status, I want to be the best I can be at chess; and with God's help, I know that will happen.

This is a bad poll because most of these options are not mutually exclusive.

lol I think roughly 99+% of those people who want to become a Master will be disappointed. Smile

Well I really think I have the potential to be one, but yes, most people won't.

Every challenge along the way
With courage I can face
I will battle everyday
To claim my rightful place

Come with me the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

 

Seriously, "to be the best I can" isnt a good goal, its too abstract to realize. To improve at all you need a concrete goal such as "Reach 2000"

Realistically, I don't have the time to be the best I can be. I want to enjoy the game, learn, and come up with a style that lets me play good moves more naturally, and make less bad moves, and eliminate blunders.

I just look at this as a vehicle to help drive me to my goal :)

Embrace the gift. It's a good distraction in tournament play.

Well I chose "I want to be a solid tournament player" .... it was the closer to what I really want which is:

 "I want to be a solid  player"
