All the greats think about their sport/game 24/7.
Off to a bad start. You're a dumbass.
Even when they are doing something else unrelated to it they are in the background computing stuff related to their game.
Multitasking is a myth. Google it.
Does anyone on here think about chess 24/7 if so how long did it take for this to happen?
It wasn't a length of time, all it took was seeing your mom. After I saw your mom that's all I thought about.
I think the key to be a great player or great at anything is to be constantly thinking about what it is you want to be great at all the time.
Unfortunately for you, your thoughts = grade A manure.
The problem is I have no clue or understanding of chess even on the basic level to begin this process of thinking about the game deeply. Help!
Read Seirawan's winning chess series, play a few 100 slow games. Only after learning the basics are you allowed to wonder what you can do to improve.
