If you are playing to achieve this goal, give up now and do something useful with your life.

Hello friend! Good luck on your journey. Repetition is extremely important. Build yourself an environment that is based around chess, and repetition. Play chess at least once or twice a day. Don't play bullet or 3 minute chess now; they'll teach you bad habits that you will wish you hadn't picked up as you gain more rating and play more nuanced games. Play 15-30 minute chess minimum. Read more chess magazines and watch funny chess videos. Learn how to visualize a chess board with your eyes closed. But most importantly: Soak up as many tactical plans about chess as you can. Perhaps this means sticking to only one opening: ie 1.d4 ... 2. c4 as white, to more efficiently memorize the best lines in one opening at a time. Take notes during or after a game about how you responded to the game, and what plans you had. Do NOT stress over a lost game, it's another opportunity to learn. you will need to analyze every single game you've played without using an engine, and figure out what you could have done better. Play lots of games against people who are better than you. You are going to lose against people even if you're the world's best

You don't need to put one word in each message. It's an indicator that you're a kid with few social and communication skills. First, trick people into thinking you're an adult. Then you'll be respected.

     Start with the visualization UnderTactics suggested. Look at a game posted here, in a book or wherever. Play through the first dozen or so moves. Set up the position on a board. Then read through the next 6 or 8 moves, visualizing in your mind what's happening on the board. Then take another set and board and set up the position you have visualized. Then go back to the first board, play out the written moves to the point you visualized, and see if they match. Finally, record the position, put it away for a month, and then set up the position on a board without consulting the record. If you do this many times and almost always succeed, great! if not, you will never be a GM.
