OR you could look at it this way...
in 416 days; that is 13 months 26days- you can Master chess, provided you
*don't sleep
*don't work or goto school
*don't think of Absolutely any other thing, except strictly and incessantly, CHESS
and in Exactly 416 days 16 hours you will Suddenly be at Gm strength.
Good luck with that....
I doubt that you could keep this thread running in 3 months let alone be a GM. It takes more dedication than that.
well i presume you are suggesting 3 months of Pluto not Earth :p
I think that's still pretty generous. That's about a year and half right?
Nope. A Pluto year is more than 247 Earth years, so we are talking about something like 60 years.
I don't really understand Pluto at all due to its stupidly elliptical orbit but as far as I understand a day on Pluto is 6.4 Earth days and a month on Pluto (through less reliable sources) is 248 Earth days so I suppose if he went by Pluto time, 3 months would be 248*3 = 744. 744/365 = 2.03 Earth years. Although I don't think you can compare the Plutonian month to our calendar year. Either way, I don't think he 3 months, 2 years, 10 years will do OP any good if he's severely underestimating the dedication it takes.
Pluto's orbital period ("Pluto year") is equal to about 248 Earth years. Its rotational period ("Pluto day") is about 6.4 Earth days. An Earth month is roughly the orbital period of the moon, but Pluto and its biggest moon, Charon, are tidally locked together and its period is the same as the Pluto day - the idea of an astronomical Pluto month is largely meaningless.
Alternatively, you could define a month as 1/12 of the year, since calendar months are only an approximation of the lunar cycle. Then three Pluto calendar months would be over 60 Earth years.
So many people delude themselves ... sad .
You doubt that someone could decide to do Nothing but chess, sleep-eat-and Live for chess 24/7??
well. perhaps that is why your NM.
with more Forum posts you could have been so much more. lol.
Isnt that what the park hustlers do ? Devote their lives to chess and most of them are homeless and if they dont win they don't eat ? 
When anybody on this forum becomes a GM , he must give at least 30% to the other members. Afer all , we were the first ones to help and encourage him. I expect a LARGE profit by the end of September! Greece is deep in crisis , but I found a way out!!
<crossfire125> +1
Anything to help the Greeks. We owe modern civilization to them, after all.
2 Standard games with time control 10|10, 10 five minute blitz games. 50 bullet games, 25 tactics problems on chess tempo, 25 problems on chess emerald, 20 problems on lichess, 5 free problems here on chess.com, watching 2 videos of bullet challenges by chessbrahs, 20 minutes of chess mentor, 10 minutes of vision training, observing 10 live bullet games by top players like hikaru everyday.
What do you think of this guys? Looks like a pretty solid routine to me.
First off, I think you should focus on playing games in over-the-board tournaments, so that you have more time to think, and can get used to the time controls and other rules and etiquette. Also, you might want to hire a professional trainer to go over your games, and help work up a training regimen focused on practicing areas which seem to be your weak spots in your games. In Germany, Artur Yusupov, Uwe Boensch and Thomas Luther are well respected trainers.
Spend 10,000 hours playing the game. It took Fischer 10,000 hours before he became a grandmaster. So all you really have to do is train for 10,000 hours over the next three months.
You have to account for the fact that he's not Fischer so 1,000,000 hours.

I guess that original person that just over 60 years was right. Well, I think that's reasonable for OP.

actually you may want to divide by 13. if you consider an average period time of 28 days you can divide the year in 13 mounths of 28 days, + one first day of the year which will not be part of any mounths. in this way every first 8th 15th and 23th day every mounth will be monday the same will be for tuesday being always the 2nd, the 9th, the 16th, the 23th. and so on for all the other days of the week.
(actually an average period is a little bit less than 28 days somenthing like 27.3)
Hey, in all seriousness here. I think it's totally possible to raise your elo a good 300-500 points in a few months just by training. I just discovered Lucas Chess and it is bafflingly underrated in the chess community. Lucas Chess has different personalities (like chessmaster) including Grandmaster personalities (like Fischer, Carlsen, etc). Further, it has a full-fledged opening trainer and super in-depth analysis tools that show the results of your move vs. the "best" move determined by the engine (you can load any engine you want as well, but it comes with at least 15, including Komodo and Stockfish) by showing you the moves that follow so that you can learn and compare. Further, it has a massive collection of puzzles ranging from checkmates to tactics. You also have the option of creating chess personalities yourself, so that you can practice correcting your weaknesses or just have fun. There are so many more features but those are my favorites haha.
But seriously, just doing the puzzles for two days has made me a much better chess player, my elo has risen (on this site) at least 30 points since I've been training with Lucas Chess. And no, this is not a paid advertisement.
I guarantee success with this, the time honoured formula:
Step 1/ Announce intention on chess.com
Step 2/ When people say you can't, get angry and protest
Step 3/ Announce your intention to study 12 hours a day
Step 4/ Argue on the forum.
Step 5/ Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you succeed. (Taken from my book "Becoming A GM Using The Debating Method". )
This is the only good advice in this forum
There are people that can play a life without managing to become masters,your aim appears utopic.If u really want to get that result,u must take minor aims and analyze a lot of your games and study chess knowledge in general.But to get improve in chess u need a lot of time,it is really really hard!
I've already improved so much! Just won first place in a bullet tournament!!!

trolls know no boundaries... I'm curious anyway to know your real rating.
by the way sandbagging here is considered cheating.

I know I can do it. 3 months later, I'm going to come back to this same topic with the red letters next to my name.
