interesting how not everyone realized this is a troll thread...
I take offence to this comment. I understand that there may have been a degree of naivety when I first presented this topic, however, it was an attempt to learn where I stood in terms of my progression. I found it discouraging, especially to newer players, that when they present their ideas or questions they are lynched and mobbed by self-proclaimed "troll spotters" who have nothing else to do but mock the achievements of others.
To be fair, it does set of the troll radar. You posted asking if your rise was unprecedented. When someone gave an example of how it wasn't unprecedented you took offense because you felt he was bragging in your thread. You stated that beginner improvement was harder than GM improvement. This isn't true in anything I can think of ... math, science, games, sports, music ... it rings of trolling. You anticipated being a master in a very short time. You've been here a year now so maybe you can help with other newbies who post similarly and try and educate them without sounding condescending or mean.
Very good
