How to become a grandmaster??

Maybe u can become a GM if u start training at 18 but it would take u a long time, and by the time u got GM u would be past ur prime anyway. Plus you don't learn as fast when you're older. 

Also you need talent. If you're average at chess, and you start at 18, there's no way.

The current requirements for becoming a Grandmaster are:
An Elo rating of at least 2500 at any point in their career (although they need not maintain this level to obtain or keep the title). ...
Two favorable results (called norms) from a total of at least 27 games in tournaments.

It takes 3 norms

Oh. So you can start at 18 and be a GM.

But not at 10, that's what you're saying.

That is not what is being said. If a player isn't already titled by 18, it's unlikely they will ever make it to GM. 

Yes it is. They made it pretty clear, unless they are going to contradict themselves.

And I know it is unlikely to be a GM while starting at 18, but it is possible you said Sonya. Very unlikely, but possible.

Which means it is definitely possible (though still unlikely) to be a GM starting at age 10.

I think you can purchase a GM title on the Black Market.

It's POSSIBLE to get to GM if u start at 18 if u have talent, but it's very difficult and more unlikely.

If ur 10 and have talent then it's definitely reachable provided u put in the hours.

my point is that none of us in this forum have that "talent". Regardless of when we start, or how long we practice we'll never get to that point.

Definitely reachable, right?

Then why can no one reach it? If it is "definitely reachable," then it's reachable if you have talent.

And why do you not think the OP has the talent? What did they say to convince you that they don't? You are so close to contradicting yourself, you're basically already doing it.

first you should learn the opening principles. then you should learn a few other basic rules like En Passant and castling. i think at that point you can be a grandmaster no kizzy

Cuz if they had the talent they wouldn't be making this post right now.

Ur so clueless it hurts.

is that a wig?

So you're saying, that future GMs can't doubt themselves at all. 

Hmm... Almost no one has that much optimism.

What's wrong with u?

this isn't about having or not having doubt. its about reality.

You're changing points! What are you doing?

You can't do that here.

Also, if you can't even refute the last part I said, how can you possibly say, "What's wrong with u?" Maybe you need to listen more.

U dont seem to understand.

Im saying if u dont have talent, no matter when u start, u'll never get to GM. Even if there is a slimmer of chance, starting at 18 removes any last piece of chance u have. IE this post is useless

This isn't as big of a deal with someone that has talent. although they would of wasted so much time if they started at 18

now go away

What you said before:

If ur 10 and have talent then it's definitely reachable provided u put in the hours.

my point is that none of us in this forum have that "talent". Regardless of when we start, or how long we practice we'll never get to that point.

What you say now:

U dont seem to understand.

Im saying if u dont have talent, no matter when u start, u'll never get to GM. Even if there is a slimmer of chance, starting at 18 removes any last piece of chance u have.

Seems like opinions from two different people. Explain your logic for supporting both contradictory arguments please.

How is that contradictory?
I don't get it. They're 2 completely different points. 

Yes. And you said both of those points. So you are contradictory.

Im contradictory because i brought up 2 different points?

I don't think u actually understand what "Contradictions" are. Unfollowing this thread, people like u are a waste of time to respond to.
