Yes, setting a high goal can be useful at times.John Upham wrote:Contact the Federations that turn a blind eye to bogus tournaments and get yourself invited.soheil_hooshdaran wrote:Hi

Not sure what they charge these days.
Play on FIDE Arena. You only need to maintain a rating of 2000 for the Arena GM title. That might be achievable from your current FIDE rating. You can then truthfully tell everyone you're a chess Grandmaster; just don't mention the Arena bit.soheil_hooshdaran wrote:Hi

My friend became a grandmaster strength online player (beat Nakamura in blitz, regularly beats GMs in classical) and beat loek van wely who is a super grandmaster over the board(!) He is currently an FM but will definitely be an international master. Ill pm you his details and he ll verify its true. He d be better placed to advise you than me. He does charge for tuition but if you tell him you know me he ll offer you free advicesoheil_hooshdaran wrote:Hi

He'll have to reverse the current decline in his FIDE rating if he's going to do that. He's now down to 2239, just over 100 points below his peak rating from almost 3 years ago.Joshua Gibbs wrote:My friend became a grandmaster strength online player (beat Nakamura in blitz, regularly beats GMs in classical) and beat loek van wely who is a super grandmaster over the board(!)

I am a 1800 player but I've beaten several strong players. Take a look at this game:Matt Mackenzie wrote:Get a lot better at chess than you are now?
Easy to say, not so straightforward to do.

In practice, to reach and retain even 2000, you have to be able to score 3 from 4 against players rated 1800. What is needed to get such results?Alan Walton wrote:Personally set realistic goals and take it on step at a time, aim for 2000, then 2200,
