How many hours does it take to become a

  • Grandmaster (GM)
  • International Master (IM)
  • FIDE Master (FM)
  • Candidate Master (CM)
  • Woman Grandmaster (WGM)
  • Woman International Master (WIM)
  • Woman FIDE Master (WFM)
  • Woman Candidate Master (WCM).

This question is asked a lot and a quick look on google results is About 1,060,000 results (0.69 seconds) 

To be honest most people would like to have such Titles and Honours and then to be told that "you should have started when you were below 10". How damaging is that to the mind and then your attitude towards the game becomes somewhat frowned upon. Listen my goal is to become a Master and I don't care how old I am when I get there. The most important thing is that I get there. I play 30min chess at least ten times a day if not more and then I spend an hour doing puzzles and another doing self Analysis. When that smoked is clear I have Coaching sessions up to 3x a month, that cost me money that I don't have however because of my goals and dream, I never count the cost. 

And this what I am getting at DON'T COUNT THE COST OR THE TIME, work hard on your chess because it shall help you in the long run. And enjoy playing sweet chess

Four Man chess

What a war, what a rush. the fourth game played and won. most people love to be greedy and not many tactics from seasoned players. To be real you can't ask for any more from people that are not natural thinking in tactics. And only study lines that are meant to crush the opponent.  With life you can't rush anything, everything is in time. chess playing is liking flowing with time. Like two lovers dancing to the moonlit sky. I want to be GM and I shall dance to the sound of time so I can become one with my lover. open challenge to anyone.
