Its possible if you are very gifted, start at an young age, and preparing with a strong coach. An example is Hikaru Nakamura who became GM at 10. 

In normal conditions, just by playing online its impossible

That young GM is not a person who wastes time trolling chess sites and playing Minecraft baby game. Your father should punish you, but you are probably 33 years old so too late.

I am 14

Indeed i messed up, Hikaru Nakamura wasnt GM at 10, only National Master I think.

i am 4 yrs younger  and have 1600 fide  otb  and only started playing during corona, and i dont think I could ever become a CM, but i've already beaten my coach (1800). if you play 3-4 hrs a day, I think it would be possible to become a gm at around 23 happy.png. I have slowed down, so I only play a few games a day, thus I will never attain GM level

so play frequently

There are around 800 million chess players in the world and only about 1500 of them are grandmasters.  in Other words....  0.00019% or 1 in 534,000

You're born with the ability to become a GM - So no matter how much will and determination one may have - it simply isn't possible for the vast majority of us.   This isn't something a young chess player likes to hear and some may accuse me of squashing a 'dream', but its reality!    You also cant will yourself to be a pro sports player, be a world class marathoner or break the world free diving record unless you start life with a very specific DNA sequence.

It’s exactly the same for professional athletes, classical musicians, or something like ballerinas. When there are a limited number of spots, natural talent is a prerequisite, but hard work and dedication necessary. You have to have both to make it to the top.
