Lol at the game too:
Why is Dan not a IM at least ???

I find it amazing how strong players of Dan's generation (and before) became without any computer help. Those players had to rely on books, self-analysis and help from fellow club players. Perhaps I am only speaking for myself here, but it almost feels as if we have become a bit lazy... We want quick shortcuts to becoming GM's by watching a couple of videos and reading a book. Those players probably understood (more than anyone) what it took to become really good at playing chess.
Good answers. Learned a lot.
