Title: I'm back :) Post by: FuglyBaz on May 18, 2009, 12:57:55 AM I can't remember the last time I came here and posted. Must have been before xmas.
Don't know if I can face playing poker ever again after being burned by someone I thought was a friend. But I love the community and humour in this forum so thought I would come back and say hi :) Baz Aspades Title: Re: I'm back :) Post by: jizzemm on May 18, 2009, 12:58:49 AM :hello:

I'm a bit closer mate, but still a million miles away :) My grade is 1700+ on Chessmaniac, the main site I play on. I've gave a couple of IM's a run for their money in games, but nowhere near their level yet :) I need to hunt out that rate my breakfast thread again, that was classic :) Title: Re: I'm back :) Post by: thetank on May 21, 2009, 04:25:26 PM I'm a bit closer mate, but still a million miles away :) My grade is 1700+ on Chessmaniac, the main site I play on. I've gave a couple of IM's a run for their money in games, but nowhere near their level yet :) Good stuff, keep it going. It takes a while seemingly. I was reading somewhere that it takes your average genious/savant about 10 years of obsessive graft to achieve grandmaster status. Quite a road.

Not sure about that as IM jack Rudd is struggling to keep his IM status let alone achieving GM status, and he's been playing for a long time (he is Autistic too, apparently) We'll see :) Title: Re: I'm back :) Post by: thetank on May 21, 2009, 09:33:28 PM It might take ~10 years to achieve Grandmaster status but that does not mean everyone who tries achieves it.
