i remember reading once from a chess master who said that if you study hard you can become a master.  what bulllshiit .... u either have it or you dont ... if you are rated below 2000 for a while ... accept your fate ... your  a patzer and always will be .... the ones who have it quickly rise .... settle for medocrity ... i studied crazy hours and crazy amounts of lessons .... 2004 national rating is as good as i will ever get .... in a 20 watt light bulb there is only 20 watts

Canadian ratings are inflated by about 200 points, too.

I heard that you could become a master by regularly asking how to become a master in a forum where pretty much everyone is not a master.

Funny! If I would have started this thread I'd have had to hear about tactics and a certain someone going on and on about the queens gambit.
