How should I get the GM title, I am an intermediate chess player. Please give me useful advice.

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

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.

what rating defines intermediate? 

i am not saying i am eric hansen... besides i don't think i could even be GM if i tried

i think i am intermediate though idk if thats off, i don't think of myself as a expert but in the middle being somewhat of an upperclass intermediate player like 1800 range, maybe 1900 max

You need to get to 2500 FIDE rating (in classical time controls) and earn 3 GM norms. By that point you will probably have reached Master and International Master titles.

yeah its from my recent otb event

yeah so i am correct but i don't think ill get higher than maybe 1900 level at least currently

i would consider an A player maybe 1900 tho that sounds like a bit of a stretch, 2000 is definitely A+ player in my opinion but 1700 yeah feels like a B or C+ player imo in terms of skill

He claims a 1598 FIDE rating.  In the general world population that might put him somewhere in the top 1/10 of 1% (one in 1,000), maybe a bit better.  Not all active players have FIDE ratings (my US Chess rating was over 2100 three decades ago and it still over 1900 which would currently correlate to 1800+ FIDE even though I don't have a FIDE rating - just a FIDE ID for being an arbiter).

I can understand a 1598 FIDE having been on Chess.com for about 3.5 months with an 806 Bullet after 816 games if quick games are not his forte, and maybe even a 457 Blitz after 181 games (though a player better at slow times controls would not normally have a rating decline from Bullet to Blitz), but a 540 Rapid after 66 games seems unusual for a 1598 FIDE, let alone the 602 Daily after 18 games (best win against a 908 and worst loss to a 677).  If he is not playing Chess.com games seriously and is spending that much time then that doesn't seem to bode well for training/development.

This one kid went from 1800 to 2200 in one year, and they asked him how he studied.

He said he read 30 chess books cover to cover that year... twice (he read every book twice).

Yes that's more than 1 book per week, so there's no way you'd remember most of it... but even if you only remembered a little from every book... freaking 30 of them.

And obviously obsession helps people improve quickly too.

?

In the US the classes are every 200 points. 1200-1399 is D, 1400-1599 is C and so on. 2000-2199 is "expert."

ooffff 1400 and 1500 is considered C player, well national federations be nice nowadays

ig its cause i like ranking them by very weak and then "ok" while the higher levels are simply strong and master level so for me a C player is someone who is very decent at the game being like 1700-1800 and experienced while D players are just very bad or not good. like even if they know the rules, their skill isn't quite knowledgeable and is just very weird in comparison. anything below that is just extremely a novice like someone who doesn't know barely much being basically the equivalent of a guess the elo subscriber playing 900's on chess.com

I mean, they could have used numbers, and called them category 1, 2, 3, 4. Instead of that they used letters, but the letters don't mean anything. I guess it's just coincidence you have a personal system based on letters.

category 1 - 2000-2400+ master level/expert

category 2 - 1700-1900 - decent

category 3 - 1200-1600 - meh

category 4 - anything below 1200 - just really bad...

i didn't know where to put 1900 and 2000 but yeah this would be it somewhat

yeah ik many old people and random friends who go play despite knowing they can't progress and ill probably be in that category sooner or later as i dont have high expectations, i am just a chess player who loves the game a lot and will play it till i die basically even if i never improve

The point was that it implies he just "got it" and didn't have to study until he was already very strong.  That is equivalent to saying Arnold Schwarzenneger didn't lift weights until he was training for Mr Olympia.  Eric was actually studying for years (via coaching); he just did not self-study until he was already fairly strong.

To make it even more confusing, USCF also uses 1, 2, 3, 4 for categories, but those require norms to be earned.

Oh yeah, they introduced that at some point after I'd joined, so I just ignore it.
