Seriously, my fellow, get the correct study materials, like 5334, problems, combinations, and games, by Polgar. Don't waste time with lesser works....learn to checkmate and everything else will fall into place.

Just "friend" me and you will probably get more advice than you want. Most of what I am saying is: there are more books written on the subject of chess than all the other sports combined. Therefore, the trick is to find and study the pivotal books (Such as, How to Think Like a Grandmaster, and Rook and Pawn Endings, and Polgar's classic, definitive, work. We are all students of the game and although a patzer, I can still teach. Learning and playing is what makes chess so much fun!
Grandmaster is a title. To be a titled player, you need to go to places and participate in many tournaments. Usually amateurs simply don't have the time and budget to travel and participate in these tournaments. That is the number 1 barrier for amateurs to be a titled player. The second barrier is skill. Having a chess coach is helpful, but probably not essential. Still, it takes time and resources to improve one's skills and to compete with the professionals. Amateurs usually simply don't have the time. If you are planning to be a professional chess player, you should go all out. Not being able to travel is not an excuse if you want to go pro.
I'm a patzer, so my view on how to earn titles is probably utterly wrong. But, where I obsessed with titles and had no access to a coach, I'd do the following:
1) Read every chess book I could get my hands on; playing through every game and example multiple times until I completely understood what was going on. I would try my own variations and ideas and try to refute them.
2) Deeply analyze GM games in the openings I play, spending at least a few hours with each game. I would then check my analysis with a computer, and everytime I went wrong, I'd spend as much time as necessary to understand why I went wrong.
3) I would collect endgame studies and spend a great deal of time with them, learning the nuances of board geometry and the subtleties of how the pieces interact.
4) I would play as much OTB long time control games as I possibly could. And I would annotate and analyze my games in detail. I would analyze my games with my opponent.
5) I would avoid chess forums and other on-line distractions from the lifetime of hard work I needed to achieve the goal.
Use Chess Books , They are better than coach !

Hey, chrisr2212, I would like to see you threadless (or at least make some kind of intelligible sense).

You were good in The Office.
Books.....i will try to find them.... thanks all...
Sure Chrisr2212, I was surprised you could read. Now you are telling me you can write, too. I am impressed. Try to write something my simple mind can understand.

it used to be 25 years ago that you could work like a dog by going to the library, study up on all the books 8 hours a day, and actually become a really good player, maybe even a master, just from hard work. Nowadays, that's impossible. With computers, Chessbase, tablebases, training software, now everyone, including kids, are on an equal plane. It's now all about talent. If you can't see 10 moves ahead in most positions, if you can't calculate or know all the endgame techniques, and if you don't have a fantastic memory for many openings, you aren't going to even be a master much less a grandmaster. And like most things that require talent such as sports or playing a musical instrument or linguistics, that talent is usually identified at a young age, not as an adult.
If you look at all the top American players nowadays, especially the ones under 40 years of age, regardless of where they were born, they all started young, anywhere from 4 years old to 8 years old. GM Shankland was an oldie by comparision, he started when he was 10.
Compare this to say taking a Level 10 piano exam, which is very difficult, you can work your butt off and eventually get there. Now imagine that in order to get a Level 10, you're in a group of 100 people, the exam is graded on a curve, everyone has worked their butt off just like you, and only the top few people get to pass. And you have to pass this exam a few times each year for many many years. That's what it's like.
Actually not quite true.
GM title is not based on a curve its based on norms. Ratings are norms but you can achieve a GM title without actually beating GM's although its not uncommon to beat GMs once your master strength or even before.
Computers have just accelerated the learning curve for players. Books were an actual barrier for young players do to limited access to materials and try out positions against strong opposition. All this is gone, with the advent of the internet and strong computers you can play against a strong opponent any time of the day. We have instant access to training material via databases of games and positions.
The thing that many people lack is the time and money to play in strong tournaments to gain norms and experience. this is especially true in the US.
POSTING RULES
Chess.com is a friendly community. We try to keep it that way by following a common set of rules for posting. The following topics are not allowed in the main public forums or chat rooms:
· offensive/vulgar language
· personal attacks
· religious or political debate
· spamming/pointless/distracting posts
· discussion of illegal activities (drugs, etc)
· advertising competitive sites
· cheating
I agree whole-heartedly with the posting rules from Chess.com.
We are all adults here, and nobody should use words, such as, “Number 2” or “Yo Mama.”
Personally, I would never attack a person, personally, as another person, regardless of the stupidity of that person.
Religion or politics….never…everyone is right! Arguing about God is like a debate on who has the best imaginary playmate.
Pointless and distracting points…..never! Track Chrisr2212 and decide if this a wacked-out borderline psychotic who has never posted anything rational or just a fun person.
And please, NEVER contact me if you are interested in munitions or black market items..
As to cheating and advertising, isn’t that the same thing? I knew this master who was cheating and advertised it to get more action. What is cheating, anyway? Are we talking about a tryst?
"We are all adults here" sorry to inform you, that we have children here as well.
which???..... link plz....
