Anybody can be a grandmaster, just don't listen to people who think you can't.

I have never written a report on anyone since I've been on the internet in over 20 years. There is a first time for everything, I suppose. Done.

you abuse everyone else. but when someone says something to you, you start crying. you are just a troll.

I sent chess.com a screen capture of chess_gg's post before he edited, where he said all Kikes, Slopes, and Negroes were mentally inferior and unfit for chess.

Seemed inappropriate to me, but hardly surprising, given his radical right wing politics.

+1

chess_gg has may call us "politically correct", but he is WAY out of bounds. His account should be cancellled.

Please tell this to Josh Waitzkin. He is anxiously waiting confirmation of this so he can jump back into chess, right where he left off, 9 years after getting an IM title and struggling to become a GM.

If he asks you for proof, then reply with a thunderous, haughty attitude "Who are you to question one such as I? I neither provide nor require proof! My say-so is correct, reality bends to my will, anyone can become a GM, evidence be damned!!"

Well, that's because you have no dirt to dig up...otherwise, you certainly would. If you are going to accuse me of something: SHOW THE PROOF. If you don't, than you are just dealing in calumny. As is this Jimmykay...WHERE IS HIS PROOF?!...yet he slanders me. And brings in his pals to do the same.

I've seen a lot of water go over the damn. You boys think you can jump on the bones of an old man, just to get your jollies? Try to rile and gangbang me because you have no girlfriend to date? A pox on you and your ilk.

The notion that a person will continue to improve on into infinity with more practice and study is childish.

Long story short, ANYBODY can be a Grandmaster. I'm already a grandmaster (You never said in the title Grandmaster at chess specifically!). I have never lost, and never will lose. Just watch:

X goes in the Center - O can go in any corner

X goes in a Corner - O must take the center

X goes in any of the other 4 squares - O must go in any square in the same row or column

Examples: If you number it 1 to 3 across the top, 4 to 6 in the middle, 7 to 9 in the bottom:

X goes to 5, O can go in 1, 3, 7, or 9 and draw. If O goes in 2, 4, 6, or 8, X goes in any square adjacent to where O went, then when O blocks, X goes in the remaining corner NON-Adjacent to O's first move and has two ways out!

X goes to 1, O must go to 5. If O goes in 3 or 7, X goes Adjacent to his first move on the side NOT where O went (i.e. O goes to 3, X to 4 or O goes to 7, X to 2). When O blocks, X goes in the center and has two ways out! If O goes to 9, X can go in either Corner followed by the last corner remaining and has 2 ways out. If O goes in 2 or 4, X goes in the center. If O goes 6 or 8, X goes in the Corner Adjacent to where O went that is not 9.

X goes to 2, O has to go anywhere on the same row or column as X. For example, O in 5 is easily a draw. O in 1, 3, or 8 also lead to no win for X (8 is tricky and X could lose, for example, X2, O8, X3, O1, X6?? [yes, a blunder, X5?? O7 also loses for X] O9 and O wins next move in 5 or 7). O in 4 or 7, X wins going in 1, O in 6 or 9, X wins going in 3.

I would say the exact opposite. Theoretically not, but practically yes, because there is always the "Houdini in a shoe" technique.

All this goes to prove is that you have no proof to back up your accusations. No more proof than that certain madman who has stalked me and slandered my good name. You guys are just trolls who were never properly potty trained. Awful chess players, as well.

Its Phelon. Josh Waitzkin is waiting for you on aisle 12. He wants to know when he can expect his GM certificate, since he worked for it for 9 years while he was an IM.

Maybe he shouldn't have just quit training/practicing? Actually quitting speaks more to his chess work ethic than his IM title honestly. He's a great player, he just wasn't willing to put in what was needed to acheive GM. I think he wrote a book about how he just got tired with chess and stopped enjoying it, so he took up martial arts?

Waitzkin could even be displayed as a case where raw talent failed because not enough proper training and chess enthusiasm were present, hurting your side.

Geez though, didn't even respond to my greeting. How rude..
