maybe a little.
hey if he wants to spill a name or throw around a little more drivel?
I'm ok with that. he'll surely troll around anyways.
Is it possible to become GM without coaching ?

Today I discussed this with my former chess coach. He said that I can become a GM and even a world champion if I study chess very hard.

Who is your former coach? I want lessons from him.

so undoubtably qualified to spot a future WCC. wow. cool.
but his name- why not give a name??
perhaps even he is a famous coach...
How many grandmasters are there?
How many people play chess?
A simple "test" would be to play somebody at a chess club that you can beat.
If they are willing, play them again but blindfold.
There is a book: Play Like a Grandmaster by Alexander Kotov ISBN 0 7134 1807 9
If you learnt everything in that book (and 're-wrote' it because the board pictures are annoying relative to the lesson) that might strengthen your game, provide clear objectives.
Personally I would suggest being a big fish in a small pond and play a few weekend tournaments a year.

don't you think a guys EQ would give him confidence enough to persevere and win the game.
someone DID say on a recent post that strong players have amazing endurance.

You seem very sure of your facts.
Emotional stability is extremely important in quickly recovering from a disastrous loss and regaining your form. Even within a single game, a brittle personality is often badly affected after making an oversight, and the loss of focus will often lead to a chain of blunders.
True story:
I was playing in a tournament in Ottawa, and doing very well... I was only half-a-point behind the tournament leader, and got paired against him (with Black) in the last round. A win would overtake him and win the tournament!
So I had to play for a win with Black, against the strongest player in the tournament.
I totally overlooked my opponent's Knight sacrifice, shattering my King's cover and winning a Pawn (since I couldn't accept the Knight).
A low-EQ player would have folded up psychologically, and started making one bad move after another.
How did the game go?

His opponent blundered almost in every move. Keep your rampant stupidity to yourself dude.

My coach has FIDE rating of 1400 but his playing strength is more than 1800. He stopped playing rating tournaments many years ago.
I did not ask for his rating, I asked who he is.
But as you have told us his rating that damages your credibility even more than you have already damaged it. Even if he is 400 points stronger than his rating he is significantly weaker than I am now and a lot weaker than I was 30 years ago, and my playing strength is nothing special and never has been.
I don't know enough about chess or learning (despite being a teacher for several years) to predict who is going to stall at 2000 or less and who is going to fly onward to 2200, FM and beyond. So I don't know how your former coach can have such insight. He might be able to help you improve, but no way can he know how good you can eventually become.
And you still have not told us his NAME. If you cannot do that then why should we believe he exists?
