kavanam, why would God dispose something? He doesn't want it?
i find it a tad frightening that in the 21th century people still believe in god.
Yay, I completely agree. God Isn't something anyone should believe in anymore. Society should be passed it!

Shouldn't society have moved beyond war, and crime, and hate as well? There are many things we wish, and many things that are, and they are not always the same things.
You can't really ask us how to be a great chess player.
If we knew how, than we wouldn't be at our current ratings, we would be grandmasters.
You have to have a chess Jones. Just like Tyrone Shoelaces got to be a great basketball player by having a basketball Jones.
Every Indian youngster cannot become like Anand who has inborn talent!
So if they could not progress, they should better concentrate only on their studies.
ironically i think some people even said anand may have became to old for chess and his best time was over. What happened? he became world champion. Even so i dont think he is that old.
As with atheltic endeavours, although one can work hard to maximize potential, one is limited by genetics (both intellectual and physical) There is an old basketball joke:" You can`t teach height!" And with Chess, I firmly believe that one may have an advantage in perhaps a certain cultural celebration of the cerebral in addition to parental support and one`s own hard work along with a very good coach plus a great library, etc. Yet the obvious remains; some people are born with a certain gift to fit into Chess in a beautiful way. Some play well without much effort at all. To me, it`s kind of like the golfer who never breaks 100. They still like it yet they still play. And there fools who say that anyone can be a master. How can this be? First off, even if this could be done, do they keep drawing with one another to maintain that ranking. This is so ridiculous statistically, I feel like, figuratively speaking, slapping the faces of those who spew that nonsense. I have heard that crap from actual masters who should be intelligent enough to slap their own faces for that concept. Check out my post on the aging of Chessplayers in connection to this. Sorry, kind of, if I have pricked the hope and dream ballon of many Chessplayers, but I feel that I am a realist and I know that I am percieved by many as a pessimist.
Merely common sense that unfortunitly, many people don't have.
ironically i sometimes thought that some people became master by drawing to each other but then again what do i know.
But i wouldn´t say common sense, history , wall street journal and some other ressources would hint toward the fact that commoners is not were the sense usually lies. Even so i myself am a stupid commoner.
Well, if you're talking about having the "chess sense" to become a great player, it's not because the commoners are more dull or whatever. The commoners just don't have the resources to allow them not to work. To focus on chess, one still has to use money. Most commoners, unless sponsored, cannot get that kind of money. It's an issue of money, not status.

Then again, even without money, one can still be a great player and a commoner. :D
well you misunderstood me, what i wanted to say is that the majority lives in the illusion that only a minority is stupid like me, while the reality is probably the majority is stupid and only a minority is smart. Well i better stop posting when im tired otherwise people misunderstand me.
I knew openings, tactics, checkmates etc. But my rating is not increasing above 1250....... sometimes I don't know what to do in middle games and playing awkward a2 or h2 ( in case white) with no reason. I mostly lose in end games ........ I'm struggling to find best moves.
You're all over the place mixed up and confused your stuck in a big tar pit and can't get out the best thing you can do to remedy this problem is wipe the slate clean and forget everything you learned start completely fresh learn chess in a systematic order study and train the right way that's your ticket out of the tar pit along with constant practice and going over your games (especially your disasters) with strong players.
A good book to study that will help point you in the right direction towards chess understanding:

Yes, that's what I'm commenting on. That the majority is viewed as stupid.
I am doing a series on training for chess to grow from a novice to expert. It doesn't by any means replace any fundamental book, but accompanies any book with competitve habits, discipline, and understanding of competitive development. It's written for the motivated.

Often times it's not knowlege that stuns us. It's usually how we approach and prepare ourselves.
Cure cancer, and then learn how the pieces move.
This will make you great, and will make you a chess player.
If not neccisarily a great chessplayer.

The majority is not stupid but slow learnesr. Slow learners needs to compensate this handicap by spending more time studying, getting a personal tutor/ coach. Lack of motivation and determination is the real problem of the majority.

So if they could not progress, they should better concentrate only on their studies.
Anand had the gift of learning fast.As I have already said,the slow learners can become great chess players if they don't get disappointed by the slow learning and leave chess.
And there fools who say that anyone can be a master. How can this be? First off, even if this could be done, do they keep drawing with one another to maintain that ranking. This is so ridiculous statistically.
That was the stupidiest comment EVER.
Ok,lets define rating.Rating my friend was created in order to categorize players by their skills.If there many many players playing the game the rating will aquire a wide range in order to differentiates one who knows one thing more from the other who does not know it.If there were 10 players playing the game Bobby fishcher would have a 100 points difference from me if I would be the last.
So this shows who is the fool and who is not.Who understands things and can express the logic.
I undertand things better than you,so that makes my opininon more accurate ;) !
If I remember the school stuff right, 99.99 + 0.001 = 99.991
oh yeah, big mistake
i thought you only post comment deleted comments
