Ask your GM Chesscoach

Chess passion exists but it should be combined with busy adult life.

Chess passion exists but it should be combined with busy adult life.
It correlates with how much time and effort you put in it. For example: If you do consistent and good puzzle training, have sessions with a coach each week and plays longer timecontrol games. Then you can jump hundreds of ratingpoints 1 or 2 years.


Of course it's possible, it's just a lot harder to do it without. I have had many coaches throughout my GM chessjourney and do not think I would have gotten where I am today without them.

Could i please a game against you? I understand if not but it would mean a lot, i would like to become one when im older.

How difficult is it really to become A GM? Or what about IM or FM
It takes time and effort. Consistent studying, playing games and analyzing.
What makes 2400 blitz different from 2200-2300 ? I know how to improve but I have not been able to find a difference (like the difference between 2000-2200 is mostly positional play )

I would like to become a GM when I’m older, please may I play a game against you?
Hey RSCB2024, I'm really glad you're excited to play. I’ve got a busy schedule right now and can’t commit to a game, but keep training hard and having fun with chess!"

How do you train a 3 year old to stop giving away pieces for free?
What works for me is to mention it playfully with a funny voice. ''Thanks for the free piece! Nom nom.'' They like the playfullness, but you bring positively attention that it doesn't help their game. If you do that everytime they give a piece, at some point they'll start noticing.

That's a hard question as not every 2200-2400 players is the same. Most of the time 2400 blitz-players have overall more skill. They have more experience with higher level games, are better at tactics, know their openings better etc. And especially for shorter time-controls: they learned how to be more practical with their time. For example by using opening with more traps, but also choosing easier options in the game to avoid loosing too much time.
