ok, but does that really matter? if you think you're a prodigy, albeit a weak one, then that's fine. i mean, you beat an fm and drew 2 candidate masters.

Have you had any chess teachers or coaches?

I don't know if that is quite prodigy yet, but hard work.  If you become a GM in one and a half more years than yes you are a prodigy.  So okay I guess weak prodigy.

If you’re a prodigy then you are strong. If you are a weak prodigy then you aren’t a prodigy, simple as that. However, 11 years old and having a high blitz of 1800 is no joke. happy.png

How come literally everyone can brag about defeating GMs and stuff at rating 1600 while I have only defeated a WIM in 1 min bullet

The bunny is waiting with bated breath for FIDE to recognize this and create a new title for you.  Congratulations in advance. 

Don't listen to the haters.  All they have are facts.

Some of them make it up.

I didn't look through all of the OP's games because that would be silly, but FWIW I didn't see any win vs an FM.

And if it's a win in 5 moves, or a win vs a 1500 rated FM then who really cares, right? wink.png
