Look At my draw against an NM.
Please stay on topic. This thread isnt about you, or your game. You have already posted this in another thread.
ROFL!
I made it to 1800 rating after learning chess 18 months ago. and I just turned 17. you can definitely make it. you don't need photographic memory, you just need to have good memory and master the basics of chess.
I agree that you don't need a photographic memory, but people without one who make it to GM are few and far between.
If you have ever played OTB against a strong player, when a game is over, they have the ability to reorganize the pieces to any position that took place during the game. They remember where all the pieces were. Can you do that?

I can't do that yet but the key word there is strong: I'm not lol. I can play a blindfold game through speech with my friend and I can last about 25 moves before things start getting weird lol. But if I play OTB and I think spend quite a lot of time and energy on a position then after the game I can remember where the pieces where exactly and make some minor analysis. But this thing all comes down to experience and knowledge. The more chess knowledge and experience I gain the easier blindfold analysis is.
The trouble with that is... in the real world of OTB games in clubs, you have to be out of the premises by a certain time. Post mortems take time, and are frowned upon. Just saying.
he is not a clown, we are just having an ordinary daily hallucination
to become a GM you must have an intelegent mind coz if you dont have you cant achive that no matter what you do...
and since I'm doing nothing my chances are diminishing by the day, so sad, probably something wrong with me
In answer to the prevailing question I am being asked, I have never tried it, but I believe that I. could remember a certain position relatively well, maybe not perfectly. Dark_Army said that I should not attempt to be a GM unless I thought that I had the "right stuff". That is a totolagy (hint, a totolagy is a statement that means nothing) that is why I started this forum, because I wanted other's opinion on what I thought I could do. So that doesn't really answer the question.
Stephen, I don't recommend going for GM.
I don't mean to offend you, but you said "I wanted other's opinion on what I thought I could do" yourself, so here I go.
You are 14 years old. You are only 1200 rated using the chess.com rating system. I am rated 1700 in Rapid, yet I would consider myself behind if I wanted to become a GM, or a titled player in general. Yes, you may have the potential. That does not mean you have to power to actually become a GM. To become a GM would have you studying a lot, memorizing lines and lines when you could probably use that time for another skill in which you are good at.
You are still a mere beginner, but if you work REALLY hard (I mean every single spare hour of your life) then you might, MIGHT become a GM. Therefore, I do not think you should attempt to become a GM.
And Rocky7788, don't be rude, I am just trying to be polite by saying thank you
I played black this game, and lost. The major mistake of this game was 15bh3, It was dumb, I should have taken the knight. Another mistake was the ending conflict, in which I planned solely to gain the center pawn. I did not see the fork available due to that, and therefore lost

6...Nxd4 was a mistake too, I believe.
Well seeing that there are 8 year olds in Russian who are 2300 I would say no chance in hell. But you could potentially get over 2000 within the next 10 years if you get enough experience and knowledge in the game. Good luck
GM G. Petar Arnaudov played his first tournament at the age 13 or 14. He became GM 3 years ago.
Well, he's one in a million bro and was almost certainly of Master strength prior to his first tournament. You can't use this clear exception for any valid argument here.
How on earth would he have master strenght without playing tournaments? I think he's the son of Petar Arnaudov senior, who was a very strong player in his best days and took part in world junior championship tournaments. With that kind of chess education at your disposal, yes, you may become GM even if you start at a late age like 13.
The only thing to learn in that game is how horribly overrated your opponent is.
I do not mind the intense hours of study, all I care about is achieving my dreams. So no matter what everybody tells me, I still will try. But, nevertheless, I do care what other people think, and respect what you tell me, whether it be opinion or fact, so I am hereby turning this forum into one that will give me advice, and help me achieve my goal of 1300. please help
He starts out with a horrible opening, launches a silly attack, castles queenside into an attack, decides to give up his knight but you didn't seem to want it, gives you another opportunity to win material and then plays on a dead lost position without resigning.
I advise playing more OTB (just plain old OTB, not a tournament) as there IS a difference between online chess and OTB. Do a bunch of tactics, and maybe start looking into what type of chess you like to play.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about. This "horrible opening" and "silly attack" is a very tricky King's Indian sideline that has been put to successful use by quite a few strong grandmasters. Of course white misplayed it, otherwise he would hardly have lost the game. Looks to me like 10.h4 was a bad mistake, and instead 10.b4 was called for, when white achieves a space advantage in all parts of the board, and a clearly better position.
@ Chessfool101: Well done, nice execution. But in case you ever face this line again, I think you would be well advised to move your a-pawn one step further on move 9.
