How to become a world chess champion?

I learnt chess at the age of 6.

The best way to become a chess champion is to follow the steps of a role model while owning who you are!

How can you say you are an advance player? Based on your rating, you are a novice player. Just keep practicing to reach your dreams

Gukesh played chess and studied chess all day, every day, for many years. Did you?

I took a look at some of your games, with the fact that you're 12 kept in mind. I would say that becoming a World Champion is still an extremely unrealistic goal. Though considering your age there isn't no doubt that you still can't become a great player!

Well all I have is the thought on how to become better. Here it is:

• don't rush

• Always recheck your calculation

• keep yourself in a good state of mind
• Learn positional playing
• learn how to spot weaknesses 
• practice your opening
• learn from your past mistakes
• try to beat chess bots
• learn how to get better on endgames

• learn from the games by someone better than you

I had some tips:

• the king can be a useful piece in the endgame when it's safe

• learn rule of the square

• Knights are best in the center, where they can control up to eight squares. Knights work well with queens and also do a good job blocking pawns.

• Bishops are most useful when controlling long, unblocked diagonals. Bishops are particularly useful when you have both of them, so they can control both light and dark squares.

• Place rooks on semi-open files, attacking opposing pawns, or defending your pawns. Rooks are effective in batteries, working together on an open rank or file, especially the 7th rank.

• Queens are very powerful, but you must be careful not to lose her for less valuable pieces. For that reason, queens often develop a little later than other pieces. Don't bring your queen out early in the game (don't bring it out in the opening if it isn't necessary).

• Early in the game you will want to castle the king to safety. In the endgame, you want to use the king to help escort pawns up the board. When it’s safe, the king can be a strong piece!

• Pawns can control key squares, protect pieces, attack the opposing king, and can promote in the endgame.

• Like in team sports, all of your pieces should work together for success in chess! One powerful piece will not be able to compete with many pieces working together.

• A pawn with no opposing pawns that could ever block or capture it is useful because it is likely to promote in an endgame.

• Your pawns can't always make it on their own, so use your king to help. A kings can effectively prevent the opposing king from blocking or capturing your passed pawn.

• Is there a pawn blocking your path to promotion? Sacrifice material to break through. In the endgame, promoting is the most important goal, and sacrifices to accomplish it are worthwhile.

• Watch out for pawn moves, even sacrifices that can help you create a passed pawn. Often sacrifices can help you promote. A new queen is worth much more than one or two pawns.

• A great reason to exchange pieces is when you are ahead in material. In that case, trades will simplify the game and make it easier for you to convert your advantage into a win.

Yes, I copy some of it from chess.com lessons

Okay, first off, you can do it, if you really put your mind to it. But you do need to know what you’re getting into. Why do you play chess? Because you enjoy it, right? Make sure you don’t loose sight of that. Or else there’s no reason to pursue the endeavor. Second, there’s always room for improvement. Join a nearby chess club, if you can and haven’t already. Get a coach as well if possible. Play the bots, play real people, do puzzles, read books (I know my elo is low. Books have been helping me though. I’ve been reading How to Win at Chess by Levy Rozman. (Gothamchess) It is amazing how much my play has improved. At least against the bots. I beat Nelson, and my worst move in the game was FORKING A ROOK!!!) But I digress. Practice, practice, practice. Play chess variations, too. Fog of War helps you become acquainted with where your pieces can go. Horde makes you think very strategically and helps you practice playing with imbalances. Solo chess makes you think moves and moves ahead.

Improve your play. Study. Practice. But most of all, do NOT forget that the point of playing is to have fun. It’s a board game, and you need to love it if you’re going to spend so much time with it. And you’ll have to in order to meet your goal. I write a lot. I’ll give you a tip: don’t force yourself to do anything in terms of study, especially not at first. Set aside time to study and play if you can, but if you don’t feel like studying your openings study your middle game, and if not that then your endgame, and if not that the play a few games, and if not that then do a few puzzle rushes, and if not that then play variants, and if not that then take a break!! If you really do not want to study at any given moment, if you do not enjoy it, you are probably either burnt out or losing sight of why you play. Don’t force yourself to study any particular thing at any particular moment. You’ll burn out faster. I avoid burn out in my writing by plotting when I want to plot instead of writing, writing instead of plotting, researching instead of editing, etc. It keeps you excited about what you’re doing to include variation in the way you’re making progress. Enjoying what you’re doing and taking breaks when you need to helps to prevent burnout. Writing and chess are two different things, obviously, but it’s the same principle. Make sure you do a bit of everything, but if you want to do one more than the other at any particular moment, well that’s the time to do it! You need to enjoy making progress to keep making progress without burning out.

Also, I totally recommend following Youtubers/twitch streamers who play chess if you don’t already. Anna Cramling, Hikaru, and GOTHAMCHESS!! Gothamchess is amazing. I love watching his content.

Remember: never lose sight of why you’re playing; study and practice, and have several different ways to do so, or you’ll burn yourself out. And if you do burn yourself out, take a break until you WANT to play, and reassess why you’re playing. Are you playing for a goal, because you enjoy it, or both? Don’t waste your time on something you don’t enjoy.

Good luck!

Oh, and play in tournaments!!

To the OP, not to crush your dreams, but with age comes maturity and wisdom and these things allow people to see more clearly and set more realistic goals for themselves. Not to say you will not become world champion someday, but always have a backup plan just in case it doesn't work out - and never be disappointed in yourself. Remember that failure is just the next step to success. Keep climbing higher and I hope you achieve your dreams, whatever they might be!

i started at 6

#26, lol clearly didn’t watch the world chess championship.

When did you 'learnt' to conjugate verbs in English?

uhh you would have to be titled by now to later be champ.

sorry to crush your dreams xD

Practice daily. Especially solve puzzles

I am an advanced player but I don't play a lot of chess games on chess.com, so my rating is low on it......

But I have beaten advanced bots on chess.com, except for Li, I drew with that bot.....

Want a tip to improve? DONT PLAY CHESS BOTS! They can only hurt your chess! They don’t play remotely like players and don’t function well either. Chess bots also decreases the stakes which is bad! You need skin the game, play with your rating at stake!

Here are some suggestions for a young player who wants to improve to become a Master or higher.

1. Stop playing bullet and rapid against other players at your level.

2. Find an OTB club that offers classical tournaments.

3. Find a stronger player who will go over your games, who can explain how a Master thinks during a game

4. Study how strong players think. How do they evaluate a position? How do they judge which endgames will be favorable for them? How does a middlegame plan develop from the opening?

5. Study endgames. Go over the endings of world champions, such as Capablanca, Alekhine, and Carlsen. Learn the basics of King and Pawn and Rook and Pawn endings.

6. When you study an opening, learn the reasons behind the moves—do not simply memorize sequences. Learn the middlegame plans that follow from the opening. Also learn the endgames that typically come out of the opening.

7. Analyze your games I don’t mean simply using the computer review. What went wrong? What other plan could you have followed? What aspects of the position indicate the best plan to follow?

These recommendations may be over the head of a 1200 player. But a junior with Master potential should find these helpful in a year or two as they approach and then pass the 2000 level.

you don't

In a real world you become world champion if you are the best player. in this world you become world champion if you are in a secret society and the chief gives his okay that you may pretend to be world champion in chess.
