Debate all you can and after a week, we'll conclude it.
Will Levy become a GM?
Sort:
I am hoping good things for him but if I am being realistic I think there is just too many factors working against him in becoming a grandmaster. Not trying to be negative, simply just my opinion I don't think he'll do it. If I am wrong so be it, good for Levy.

About mental, physical, emotional, and social health...
Bobby Fischer did not have very many of those traits, even before he really went off the deep end. Being a good person definitely helps, but it doesn't seem to be a requirement.
Or maybe I'm just an idiot and I don't know what I'm talking about. Idk, happens a lot 💀
YeS He WIlL HatERs! =)

He's a great player, but he's a bit past his prime. He wasn't able to get there before, I struggle to think he'll be able to get there now. He's always struggled with his mentality. I really don't see that changing.
Then again, I'm a 600 elo who's never been in a competitive tournament and has never had a conversation with Levy, so what do I know. Everyone said Sam Darnold was a bust and now look at him.
No. But still more likely than the average 800 player on chess.com asking how long it will take.
Age matters, mental state matters, psychology matters, physical health matters, mental health matters, emotional health and social health matters, patience matters and determination matters.
