notably eric hansen who never even studied on chess books till they were GM or nearing it
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.
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
You can try the formula yourself, and tell us if it works. Just don't bet with anyone on the result, especially if you are short of money.
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.
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.
i was gonna comment but like since i am mostly aiming for NM not GM i found this super relatable in the want parts and kinda disagree with the "wait for improvement part" everything pretty much fits me and my progress in a few years except the cheating part, i do get frustrated however and massively get down from time to time due to not improving or losing progress
