Why, first you become CM (Elo 2200), then you become FM (Elo 2300), then you become IM (Elo 2400 and three IM norms - already impossibly hard), then you become GM (Elo 2500 and 3 GM norms, even worse, there are less GMs than billionaires in the world, only about 1,800 living GMs exist), then you become Super GM for a while (thats not actually an official title, but it means you passed Elo 2700 and entered a very exclusive club of around just 30 people worldwide), and then you have a shot at becoming WM for a while.

And besides that all has to happen before you hit 30, because after 30, just like mathematicians, chessplayers get worse again.

If you want to be world champion, remember, there are millions of competitors you must beat

Are there really that many people trying? I think it's more like a couple thousand competitors. I'll bet the vast majority of good players have no ambition of becoming world champion.

Ask yourself if you TRULY want to make chess your life obsession.

Look at someone like Hikaru Nakamura. Playing chess ALL DAY ... EVERY DAY ...

Heck even I didn't play Runescape that much, lol.
