An IM is worse than a GM and Magnus is considered the best GM so... Most likely defintely no.

What would your rating look like if you played nothing but the Hippo with white and black? 😁
I give up chess made me realize I'm like most people . Stupid. Biggest waste of my life and I can't seem to quit playing studying even though I never improve. I'm chess stupid I admit it and most things in life . Tic tac toe for me

You have talked about the books of Aagaard/Dvoretsky. Which of their books are the most important and which should you start with?
Also, should I play more rapid on the internet? I usually only play blitz.

Have any tips for a 1800-1900 (fide) 13 year old to become as good as possible?
Youth have accelerated neuroplasticity, which helps you develop pattern recognition more naturally. Take advantage of your age and actually study plenty of chess now! Find high quality training material and actually read it, study books, solve puzzles, play tournaments, analyze your games, and be one of those teenage titled players who wonders what higher title is possible, or more likely from my experience, be ready to cruise through them, if you actually are studying chess like it's your career that early. That might sound overly optimistic, and it could very well be, although I fondly remember being 13 and the rapid improvement I made when I immersed, and I saw my teenage peers who were even younger (I'm remembering as an older teen/young adult) really make hundreds of points of progress at expert/master level in relatively short periods of time "just" by being active or semi-active with chess, some did a lot of reading, others less so, and still progressed anyways. It will get harder, so enjoy now, and find out how far you can go! For specific book recommendations, maybe try Kasparov's series, Quality Chess classics, and start Aagaard/Dvoretsky sooner or later. Blitz is fine, use it as an openings training tool and analyze. Chessable/tactics too

Maybe, I don't recall at the top of my head if I've trolled opponents with this promotion to win. Let's go with probably not, except in puzzles, maybe.

I've found Aagaard's "Thinking Inside the Box", "Positional Play", "Strategic Play", the attacking puzzles in "Attack and Defense", and both attacking manuals to be helpful. For Dvoretsky I've enjoyed 'Chess Tests', parts of 'Tactical Play', and doing some of his endgame/analytic manuals.
Sure, why not - rapid is fine. Analyze your games to learn! These days I've been enjoying bullet.
Why are the freestyle ratings on here so messed up?? Freestyle Friday has been going on long enough for the ratings to average out. There are 1500 rated GMs. WTF? Daniel Naroditsky is leading right now after 7 rounds and his rating is only about 2360ish. That's ridiculous, chess.com needs to fix that craziness. Why aren't they doing anything?

The tallest Master in the world, 7'3, Solomon Ruddell (Chess Giant on Youtube) became National Master playing nothing but the Hippo with both colours. He documented his journey on his Youtube channel. It's great to see strong players like yourself and Solomon believe in the Hippo! 💪

Hey Elijah!
1. I saw you've been enjoying bullet. It's currently my highest rating (in standard chess, even then it's not that high...), but does it actually help you improve? If so, how?
2. Do you think variants of chess help you improve? I know puzzles allow you to recognize certain patterns like back rank mates, that weird one where you check with the rook on the back rank, then check with queen on diagonal and take that one pawn 2 squares away from the king to win the game (you know it), etc. and I've been able to implement many of those tactics in game, but I'm not sure about variants.
3. Why do my game reviews always say I play like a 1200-1500 when I'm only 800? Am I too low rated or is the game review 'estimated rating' wrong?
could an im beat magnus without a queen but magnus still has his?
