If you have a brain, you can become a candidate master with good training, goals that are achievable, and discipline. Discipline is the key factor here. Many people spew stuff out of their mouth, dreams, goals, whatever. Do you have the willpower to actually do it. That is what separates the kids from the men and women who become successful.

Also, hot take, I would argue that if you are 14 and up, until 30, one could possibly become a GM still if their rating is in the 1400-2000 range currently. Would they have to work their butt off everyday? Yes. True, 99% of people have said that it is most likely not going to be the case, but so what? If you actually want to achieve your goal, then do it. When I was a freshman in college, my first assigned advisor told me that medical school was not for me because I did bad in my first chemistry class, I literally laughed at the ridiculousness of his statement. Telling a small town kid that is from a minority community that he has no place in the medical field. I walked out immediately, and found people that actually would support me to meet my goal. Today I have done all my requirements with a good gpa, and am preparing to take the MCAT. When I get accepted to med school, not if, I'll have the last laugh. And you know why I'm sure as heck that I will get in? Because I have decided that I will die trying, because it is my dream, and dreams never die OP. So go get your dream if that is what you truly want, and that's it. Period.

@theitalianstallione ratings doesn't mean anything in a discussion about the road to gm. I'm 2000 blitz and have no idea how norms work, but bunch of 1600s do. Go figure.

Well thas your problem, im underated by 100-150 points, near 2200, you know i kind of have an idea of how it works you know

lets take an example... if we were discussing the corona virus then my rating of 2000 is as good as your 2200 rating.

Same thing here. None of us have been GMs. In response to the OP's question, it is POSSIBLE, but highly unlikely.

one of the biggest deterrents keeping me from studying medical stuff is simply because of the smell. I can't stand it.

Can you memorize games? Can you recall what you played on every move in a game from memory? Can you memorize hundreds of lines of theory? Can you visualize the board in your head and calculate based on that visualization without looking at the board? If not, then it’s very very very unlikely that you will ever be a GM.

i can memorize different spawn seeds in minecraft so probably ya!!

sorry, no...

if you work hard, you might not make GM, but you can definitely get a title like NM or FM

DarkKnightAttack

You can surely be NM or FM with correct training, Be consistent though.

to be honest, my least favorite (being nice) opening is anything that starts with d4

so boring

 

What about Queens Gambit?

 

 

 

 

 

 

nvm forgot about the slav

the slav is dynamic... if white plays the boor attack

the QGA is dynamic

the QGD is boring especially if black wants to draw

No. not possible. if you're at that level of intelligence it doesn't matter how good you are rn, you're not likely to improve

If your under 1500 then you can play any opening

Is it possible? YES 100%. Is it probable? we have to calculate based on your consistent performance.

and seeing that Minecraft pro can only flag people in 30 second bullet...
