How easy is it to become a GM?

No problem. What have you learned?

Maybe you should have respect for the years and years of diligent work it takes to become a GM.  Your ignorance is pathetic.  Although I'm sure you're just trolling, so please go back to reddit.  

Bruh, be nice to this guy. He may be a noob so just start with the basics.

Visualizing 20 moves is trivially easy. Analyzing 20 moves deep is usually impossible... but not always if the sequences are forcing and the position is simplified e.g. an endgame.

Yes but there are branches to calculate right?

Your ignorance is pathetic. If you actually read what I wrote, I concluded that it would take me 15 years to do it at 5 hours a day. So I do have respect for the years of diligent work as you put it. Don't tell me to go that pathetic forum as an insult. It's childish. 

Yeah, when there are a lot of branches then it's impossible.

But for example a forcing sequence into a king and pawn endgame, then calculating the king and pawn endgame all the way to a conclusion is sometimes possible (for very good players). This can involve 20 moves pretty easily. I'm sure it's happened before.

You need tactics. At least 2300 Tactic Trainer rating to get at least 1800.

Yeah, you're right.

Yes, unfortunately I read all the garbage you've typed.  Troll on brother, troll on...

@Fixing_A_Hole,

You should be nicer to him.

Tactics, man you need tactics.

A message to Fixing_A_Hole,,

It's proven in psychology that people who try to put others down are doing it because they themselves are insecure. Please don't comment anymore on this forum. You're just giving insight to the insecure person that you are. 

@VladimirHerceg91,

You NEED tactics.

A game is won because of tactics.

I'm very secure, Mr. Armchair Psychologist.    Let me try!  You seem to be exhibiting classic signs of projection.  You'll get passed it some day, when you're a "regular" GM.

every human is different.... so dont ask others whether u can become a gm or not...the thing that matters is ur belief...no urk can tell u its impossible

if i m not mistaken richard reti became a gm around his 30

Change your question to.."How HARD is it to become a GM?"

I think you'll realize that after you get to 1900 (if you get there) there's a steep hill to climb to get to Expert level....then a Mount Everest climb to GM. Very doubtful you make it but hey...If you're delusional enough to give it a shot.
