How old are you? If you are below 10 maybe you could.

Stop crushing other's hopes as you are only 1500 so how would you know?

quite interesting, Arnav the 1900.

Brilliant !!! Thank you for that answer....

That addresses my question and gives me more basis sto understand the rating of a GM and also opens up the discussion for a differential on the different time control settings that factor into ones rating

So, that brings me to a related question and that is with the online programs like Chess.com, for example, are they proportionate too or all in sync with the other online chess and table chess? Or has this not yet occurred and something we will potentially see in the upcoming future? From a visionary prospective, it appears that at some point in the future the scales may come to some synchronized or universal standard that enables all players regardless of what system, to be able to determine one's rating in relation to the whole world wide chess community?

What’s the answer?

As long as you can touch a8 without knocking over the pieces your reach is fine.

Age really is not at question here, as far as what it takes to be a GM... Granted, it like all things is much better learned as a child, when one's mind/brain is not over loaded with other activities as is the case as we gain age, get older!!! The brain, you could say has a maximum amount of capacity to hold, process, and utilize ...neuronal load... In short, a young fresh brain with no pollution per se...directed in the right direction could more facilitate and expedite the learning and quickly become better and better !!! In short, a fresh eager and uncluttered brain without all that goes along with life should absorb more and more and more, and at a faster rate, and thus get better and better at the game !!! Kind of like a brand new computer with not clutter, expansive fresh memory availability !!!

Sort of the perfect growing field...for more processing...

But, again, we all if trained and put through massive repetition and learning have the potential to go as far as possible !!!

Kind of makes you wonder though, hold up.... Are we all merely just an big experiment for some thing or one else??

Yes....I know....interesting...

But at the end of the day....Chess is a fascinating game that has certainly improved my memory, and more importantly brought me together and put me in contact with some really wonderful people form all over the Globe !!! New brothers and sisters in I feel, I have spent some great quality time be it 10 min or 3 days and beyond !!!

I give God the Glory for that and thank you everyone...It is my prayer, we all get to continue enjoying and learning and improving.....

Lastly, if everyone was a GM....

That might be off the Chain so to speak..
