What if I ask Magnus carlsen how to be good at chess?

The same answer I was going to post! Jinx!

I asked Magnus on behalf of the OP. What he advised was:

1. Start by being a stellar prodigy with IQ off the scale
2. Get introduced to chess at the age of 3 and take to it naturally from the outset
3. For your childhood years, spend 12 hours a day improving your understanding of chess and honing your skills while viewing it as fun rather than work

From there on, it's just a matter of luck whether there is anyone else around who is even better.

I asked him once while pointing a gun at his head and his answer was..."dude i cannot piss in a straight line let alone play chess,its all done with a microphone in my ear and remote assistance''.Well that shook my belief in the system of FIDE as well as humanity.I am haunted by those words to this day.Sad indeed!

You have license to carry around a gun?

Athe da

I presume you are a Malayali, are you?

Yes
