As long as you are rated 900, nobody really believes you are cheating. Good luck with your challenge. You will fail to reach the goal, but maybe you stick with chess.

There is proof! You just played 2 games and got 2000 rating!!
You can theoretically get 2000 rating after ur first game on chess.com
Cos of the rating system

Obviously, but the point is that such a rating is almost meaningless.
That's a provisional rating surely - that's not the same as an actual rating.
He's lucky if he breaks 1200. I remember being around the 1200s for years lol, that was when I had no idea how to play properly I just played any old way.
If he does get good - and by this I mean 2200 blitz or something, he's a fraud who is operating a joke account like that kibidragon guy and it's all a scam where he is already really good.
He won't get higher than that at absolute maximum because noone with that sort of ability would be here wasting their time doing such nonsense.

This whole post is a complete garbage troll thread.
Not only is that type of rapid improvement impossible, there is no way the OP could go out and earn the required three GM norms in that time period. So quite literally, this is impossible.

That doesn't make it a troll thread. It's totally possible that the OP just doesn't know the difficulty of the task. Maybe alcohol and some bet involved.

Good luck with your challenge, it will be interesting to see where you are in 100 days. My expectation is that you will be demolished by the competition.

Perhaps challenge yourself to win against a GM in 100 days instead. That seems more realistic.
Hello everyone
I have never played chess before in my life and I'm going to try to become a grandmaster in chess in only 100 days. A friend of mine challenged me to do this since I'm an addictive learner. Wish me luck and support me on twitch.tv/3picemuboy 
Kind Regards

Only in the same sense that challenging himself to play in the Welsh Premier League in 100 days is more realistic than challenging himself to playing in the English Premier League.
good luck I want to become a grandmaster to but it will take years

It sounds like you have underestimated chess and overestimated your own abilities. Next you will expect to become a surgeon in 100 days, or a concert pianist in 100 days. So you have no respect for the accomplishments of others, and think you can achieve the same in a mere fraction of the time. They call what your attitude displays The Dunning-Kruger Effect. In the field of psychology, The Dunning-Kruger Effect is a cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. The Dunning-Kruger Effect refers to a moment when someone is too ignorant to know how ignorant they are. This effect is not uncommon in young children, who think they've learned all the math there is when they've learned to count to 100, or to add single digit numbers. Most people outgrow this effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
