Ooooooh good question. I'm going to ask the IM: How can I become a master?

What kind of master do you want to be? National, FIDE, ect.

Did you have a chess coach? If so, do you think you could've reached IM without coaching? Also how many chess books do you have?

What would you #1 think the title is that makes more sense? And #2I started 11 months ago on chess.com being a 950, is my improvement without a coach good?

I'd say this is a matter of perspective ...

What's easy for some can be quite hard for others, and it's something that high level players sometimes forget.

They call this to "expert's curse" or the "curse of knowledge" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_knowledge).

Hikaru, for example, shows this often on stream, when he's shocked that other players don't immediately spot the winning moves that he sees ... He seems to forget that not everyone is Hikaru.

He was an amazing coach. I wrote it about it in my eulogy on him here: https://www.chess.com/blog/EricYuhanLi/in-memory-of-daniel-naroditsky-a-teacher-beyond-the-board-1995-2025
