no sacrifices no results, if u want to be extremely good at chess ( like a prodigy ), u won't get a gf at 14, get your drivers license at 19, you know what I mean?
Right. You'll stand around at 20 with nothing to discuss or show for your life but Chess. While still being rated 1130 USCF lol. See how far that gets you guys in today's world.
My passion would be to become a chess coach so in my case studying chess is the only way to get there
You do realize that simply being a chess coach won't provide you with even a fraction of the amount of income you need to live above the poverty line, don't you? How are you going to cloth and feed yourself? Pay rent, car insurance, gas, etc? Not by coaching chess, I can assure you of that. Especially not in today's realm of massive inflation.
Tbh as long as I can make $1000 a month I can make it work
ok champ even I gotta admit that's a little too stretched lol
Maybe it is but as long as I'm single, living in a van I think $1000 a month isn't to crazy if I'm cheap
dude u gotta save up for retirement otherwise you'll be working for the rest of your life..... tbh even minimum wage isn't enough if you live in a semi-big city
Yeah you're right I need to look into it more
if u wanna be a coach i would recommend to join a company that offers a salary to coaches since it is a lot more stable and you don't need to worry about advertisement and stuff
as little as half an hour a day is enough to improve
But really though?
Depends on your innate talent of course, but you can probably reach at least 1400 on half an hour a day if you're following the right study plan.
Now if you want to become a GM, well, that's a different story...
Sure, a beginner will improve, but OP is 1700 rapid.
I don't know if 30 minutes a day is enough, maybe it is, but I doubt it.
Definitely not. There is no way that 30 minutes a day if enough, no matter who it is.
I mean for a beginner it is but, 1700+ the anser is no
I mean, the main rating I want to improve in is USCF cuz that's the one that actually matters (and FIDE but I don't have a FIDE rating).
Are you trying to get NM?
Yes, especially before I go to college (in 6 to 7 years or so) so that I can put it on my portfolio and get into a good university. FM would be a lot better tho since its international.
