How long does it take to be GM as a beginner.
Sort:
I started playing chess 2 months ago on chess.com. I never played before. I just saw a YouTube video and I just say let me try it and now I play 5-8 rapid games everyday. I am 50% global rank by now. If I keep playing at this rate how long does it take to be GM.
it usually takes the average person 9 years to become titled and 12-15 to become a gm for most gm now. It took Magnus Carlsen 3 years to become a gm so beat that record
depends on committment smartness memory etc
expect it to be about 10 years of effort, u need to start playing otb tournaments
also you'll have to give up like EVERYTHING and devote ur life to chess
its a big risk
"It isn't something anyone can achieve"? In my opinion if devoted every thing for that anyone one can achieve.
I am not ready to devote anything. So your are saying can't be achieved just by playing 5-8 games a day?

A LONG time. There is no such thing as a 'quick path to the top'. If there was, everyone would take it, and the world would become a 'anything goes' environment. Because of this, the only way to become a Grandmaster is through countless hours of study, dedication and sacrifice.

If you can achieve a GM title, I'll eat my own skin.

Sure you can be anything you want to be with enough “devotion.” A Gm, a professional basketball player, or a lowly troll. I’d suggest basketball, you’ll make millions with your devotion.

Reaching GM generally takes 5 to 10 years, with dedicated playing/studying, and regular professional coaching.
Without those things, reaching the GM level is extremely difficult and/or impossible.
A more reasonable goal, if you want to try to do it on your own, would be reaching the baseline master level, which would be "National Master" or "Candidate Master", depending on where you play (2200).

Ten year rule: ten years of intense practice. Took Fischer nine years to achieve gm at age 17. And since it’s been scientifically proven that kids learn easier than adults I’d say it would be unlikely. Also, it gets much harder to improve as you get higher.

5-8 games a day is nothing compared to what gms do, they do like 7-8 hours (or more I don’t remember) of prep per day
