I have seen his profile and he probably stopped logging 5 years ago...and decided to log in today to say that. If you look at the rating stats, it's very likely to be the explanation
Oh, I didn't even know I had this account. I clicked register, and it somehow gave me this old account?
Yes, this was when I was beginning to play chess, hence the rating.
@king - I pity you. So you would rather encourage him to give up his realistic academic life for a shot to become a GM, which is highly unlikely, just statistically? Good for you.

No, just change the user attribute from "normal" to "featured" to change the background color.

Frankly speaking I am very tired of playing chess all day. I am progressing very slowly. I am playing chess since 8 years now and my game is not as strong as it should have been by this time. I haven't won a single tournament till now. Probably becoming a GM is beyond my reach now. In 8 more years I will be 30 year old man and if I don't become an expert by that time, I will be nowhere. I have sacrificed my academics for chess and if I fail to reach the top in chess, I will miss out on both academic career and chess. I will be an unsuccessful man and all efforts will be wasted
Boo hoo hoo!
Pass the kleenex.

If you join chess.com before becoming a GM it is pretty hard you will ever become one.

He posted another couple of topics after this one asking if he's going to become a GM.
The answer is No, it's always No.
The answer is No, it's always No.
Listen, give up
