Yes, but how does that have anything to do with my statement? I never stated I was almost as good as an IM, though I have a feeling you spent 30 years of your life for that IM title.
Well, you may consider doing the same, after getting a life first.
He's scared of losing rating points, as the US Championship has lots of relatively lower rated contestants, and even if Hikaru draws one of them he will lose rating.
Basically he wants to preserve his high rating by continuing to draw other elite players in their super-GM "bubble" and doesn't want to risk dropping out of the top 10.
Dropping out of top ten? This has happened ages ago- he is currently #19.
Super-GM bubble? OK, I get your point- who am I to dispute Jesus who said ignorance is bliss?
Who knew an IM can be this dumb? He wants to be in the top 10 US you fool!
Shut up.

I do have a life, I am not sure you do. Like dude, why would you dedicate 30 years to get an IM title? That's like giving away half of your life for not even the greatest title!
Someone like you wouldn't understand what enjoyment/passion is.
I do, chess is my passion, but why would you spend 30 years of your life on something to become a poor IM?
You said you’d choose video games over chess. I think you do not know what “passion” means.

lol, I don't choose it over chess, but if I had to pick one to be my career option, definitely video games cause they earn much more, are a bit more fun than chess, you can socialize with others more than in chess, you can make content successfully, and more. I know what passion means, and both are my passions. I wish to excel at both preferably, but depending on the circumstances, I may choose one or the other.
It’s not passion if you choose money over it.

So if you like doing something, you shouldn't try to earn money from it. Thanks.
No. If you truly love something, you will do it no matter how much money you earn. Don't you say you have an A in English? More proof North American schools are broken.

Who cares about what title you get?
It's not about how you are recognized by a group of people in suits with an unfair rating system, it's about what you learn and experience in the process of becoming a good chess player. That's why people don't quit chess just because they aren't the greatest chess player that has ever lived.
You should quit it if after 10 years you are flat or barely 1800.
If one truly loves the game, they won’t.

You can play it to be top at it, attain a title, start a chess career, become a chess coach, and many more. Sure, it is still fun, just not 100%.
If chess weren’t fun to the top GMs, they wouldn’t be GMs. Getting a title is simply an achievement for your dedication and skill.

Did I say it wasn't fun? No I said it wasn't 100% fun.
