In short you can spend your time giving trolls all this great make believe advice but leave me out of it and don't ask me what my problem is again or quote/tag me in any of your tripe.
@Bored_2_Death Id prefer advice on how to be 40 years younger tomorrow for reasons I can't discuss. :-) I'd only want to be 10 years older if it meant I was then able to go drinking and clubbing and all of the fun things that entails, which of course in a public forum where kids are, such comments would be highly inappropriate.

Again you are not understanding main thing.
Re-read my earlier post.
What if the person isn't troll and is serious?
Would you still act stupidly to just think that everyone out there is troll?
"... an experienced trainer can detect [chess talent] almost immediately. A talented youngster absorbs chess knowledge more quickly, and uses it more effectively. He quickly identifies the main points in what his trainer tells him, or in what he reads in books, correctly identifies the moments when it is right to follow this or that chess principle, or to use a certain technical device.
Talented children can usually play blindfold games almost immediately. They move quickly, calculate variations rapidly, and are good at blitz and rapid games. ... Grandmaster B, at the age of 12, played so fast that, in a bid to get him to slow down and play thoughtfully, I advised him to write down in an exercise book all the moves he had considered, before actually playing his move. The child took no more than one minute to write down seven (!) candidate moves, and to play an eighth. Now that is talent! ..." - Alexander Vaisman (~2009)

you need to play offline tournaments conducted by fide or other chess cooperation.
A week has passed since this highly interesting thread started.
Can the OP update us on his progress?
I’m also wondering if he’s the same age as I’ve not had any birthday party invitations. If you unintentionally didn’t invite me, I forgive you as I partied on my lonesome with several of my own birthday celebrations.
My local balloon stockiest never ceases to be amazed at the number of ‘friends’ I have with birthdays.
Most people that are not GM's want to be GM's (some think they will be)

And many believe they can! (Believing is better than thinking)
@Akbar2thegreat You are correct on your part but we know that OP is a troll. And if OP wasn't troll we would be knowing (cause trolls are pretty common) and wouldn't say like that, as simple as that.
Thank goodness this thread hasn't been bumped in three days.
