Dreams are never pointless unless you make them nonexistent. You shouldn’t listen to people who tell you otherwise. If you think you can’t be a GM, you won’t be a GM. 227 is bad, but I once had a 130 in bullet, so I feel for you. When you believe you’ve hit rock bottom, the only place you can go is up. Don’t give up on yourself.

I don't want a sugar coated answer.  227 is about as bad as it gets.  [Mod edit: please refrain from using inappropriate slurs - JG] make fun of you.

I want a brutally honest answer.  See my first reply.  But to expound even more.  You're a new account so that is the first red flag.  You're asking for answers to a question that has an obvious answer, so that is red flag #2. 

I know 227 is a bad rating in rapid. But how bad is it? Is it terrible? Super terrible? Am I amongst the worst? Yes like i said. [Mod edit: please refrain from using inappropriate slurs - JG]  make fun of you.

Are my dreams of becoming a grandmaster pointless?  You have no desire to be a GM.  You're a new account that thinks they have invented trolling.  I assume a rickroll will be next.

You beat a 400 which is decent

Watch john bartholomews fundamentals videos on youtube and use more of your clock time. Just because your opponent is moving fast, doesn’t mean you have to. I opened 10 of your games and you had more than 5 minutes left on your clock in 80% of them. Your playing 10 minute rapid not 5 minute blitz. Use your time, think about your moves, don’t blunder, control the center, attack your opponent intelligently or he will attack you. If you put pressure, he has to waste moves responding to your pressure. I bet you could get 600 easy in a week.

I started playing chess at 5 years old...  I don't think I was ever 227, even during my very first games.

 

Not gonna lie... It's really pretty bad....

You're a very angry person, and not very smart.

I think that sums it up.

mine is 615 and rising.

200 isn't the best, but if you know your mistakes, it's not that bad.
