Is it possible to get an IM or GM title if you start chess later?

2-3 years.

ya I hope my FIDE score after doing tournaments over the summer and next year are as high as yours

Good Luck on your chess journey!

Thanks man I used to make fun of y'all lmao 🤣

its come full circle

Still pretty good considering I'm currently at 1487 and that's better than 96.5% of all rapid chess players.

ya no I cant play that well online rapid don't have the concentration I have no idea why I'm so much better over the board

Haha I'm 16 and I'm a 900 rapid lol(at least my highest rapid was 970 or so) although I didn't really pick up playing chess until about a year and a half ago. I still like to say I suck at chess

lmao I don't play rapid as much because I was starting to play worse so I do puzzles, in person, and daily and I've started to actually play good also 16

gg

yo what

I'm an 11 year old with a chess.com level of around 1450.

bro stop making us 16 year old uncs feel bad we are late chess bloomers

I think you really do have to start young to be a GM. (Not that I'm ever going to be a grandmaster obviously so don't take my word for it)

ya but the question is IM or GM I think IM is very possible GM I don't know chess isn't overly complicated to pick up but most people cant stick with the grind

I win kids tournaments and can beat 2 of my coaches sometimes. (1250 and 1400 chess.com) I think I'll eventually win tournaments at the club level (casual chess clubs that are popular but no state championships or anything like that)

Thanks guys

I don't know about IM.

well ya lmao I thought I was good so I wanted to look up the elo of the best highschool player in my state and its a IM so unless I become Magnus I gotta lock in over the summer

No problem Planet Chess
