Read many chess books.
Play in many FIDE rated tournaments.
That's it.
While doing this at least 30 hours a week, if you're not 2200 (FIDE rating) in 5 years, then you should probably give up on IM or GM.
By the way, your current level is close to beginner.

Do not dream of titles.
Just try to play good chess.
If you succeed in playing better, rating and maybe titles will follow.
The essence is to play and to learn from your losses.
If you learn something from every game you lose,
then you will gradually get better and your rating will reflect that.
Dear 'llama36' my true rating is 1598(FIDE OFFICIAL). This is just my chess.com rating man...

I didn't look at your ratings (well, I did) but mostly I looked at your most recent games. You don't follow opening principles and you give away pieces.
How should I get the GM title, I am an intermediate chess player. Please give me useful advice. I want to desperately get the GM or IM title.
I didn't know that Paul Morphy was indian 😂😂
Anyway gl if u wanna be master one day!

If you are 12 years old and 1600 FIDE, then you are 800 elo away from 2400 IM level.
If you can progress +100 per year, then you can reach IM by the age of 20.
At 12 years old the easiest way you can get an IM direct title by doing all of the following (1, 2 AND 3):
1> reaching a 2200 FIDE rating
2> moving to a FIDE continent or FIDE region that does not have a lot of strong players you would be competing against
3> in a Continental/Regional age-based championship tying for first in U20 championship (or over 50 or over 65 if you a willing to wait until you are that old) or taking gold in U18 OR tying for/taking first in a sub-continental individual championship open to all ages
Getting a direct GM title would require A AND B:
A> a 2300+ FIDE rating
B> Taking Gold in a Continental individual open to all ages or in the World over 50 or over 65
Well, it really depends on your real intention.
- If you want to get better at chess, close this thread and open a new one titled "How should I get the CM title?". Still over the top, but certainly much more realistic.
If your intention was trolling, close this thread again, and buy a good trolling guide.

not really.... its just win FIDE tournaments and get 2500, there are so many grandmasters most notably eric hansen who never even studied on chess books till they were GM or nearing it but yeah if your not IM or GM then its probably a very tough decision to be able to keep that drive

Seems fairly inefficient to not use books, but sure, there weren't books beyond basic stuff when players like Capablanca played, and so it's possible to be a strong player without them.
Reading a lot of books and playing in a lot of tournaments is the advice was Svidler gave to improve quickly and it makes sense to me, so I like to repeat it.
Step by step process:
1. Open settings on chess.com.
2. Select "Close Account"
3. Pick up hopscotch.
If you are not an IM and are already asking how you become a GM, you will not make it as you have the wrong motivation and will end up giving up long before you ever get close.

This is massively misleading. Eric claims he did not study books until he was already an IM, but that skips over the fact that he was getting coached regularly by very strong players for years. So yes, perhaps he didn't read the books himself, but he was getting the benefit of them though lectures and coaching.

Another beginner chess player that decides to troll the same ole same ole.
I will give to answers. The answer you want and the answer you dont want.
1. Answer you want:
Play nothing but speed chess.
Memorize openings. Dont actually learn them just memorize the moves.
Ask a lot of really dumb questions online.
Reach a point of frustration and cheat.
2. Answer you dont want.
Put in the work.
Be realistic and honest about your abilities.
Pull a Krammnik and put in 12 hours a day of serious studying.
Hire really good coaches.
Wait for the improvement.
When we were kids a lot of us had dreams of playing for Barcelona or Real Madrid, but then we grew up and realised how silly we were, or maybe such people didn't change their mind because they have matured but because they saw that their football progress wasn't going as planned. Posts like these make me think that the latter is true as there seem to be too many adults that started to play chess and who act just like kids who want to become the new Messi.

ah still it does give some inspiration and hope but isn't my statement correct, that he was studying books cause i said he picked up books either when he became GM or was near
