I've been able to be 2000 players occasionally now even though Im rated 1400 at best on lichess for now.
Am I becoming a chess prodigy?
Also it's only been 3 months since I first started taking chess seriously
Let's see if you can beat me then. Your ratings say no.
It's a serious question, so deserves to be taken seriously.
I checked your recent games, and this one stood out:
lichess.org/qm6Fxran/I think maybe the answer is "No".
You have to overtake some hundreds of thousands of real talents. Have fun!
Adults can improve at chess extremely rapidly when dedicated. There was a well publicized story some years back about how an adult player went from something like 1100 to 2000 USCF in a year. He just had a crazy good work ethic and went overboard on tactics. Like the saying goes, genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration!
I always found prodigy a silly label. On Lichess some might call Tihon a prodigy, yet even the work he shows on Lichess alone is probably more than 99% of players put in - and he ends up better than 99% of players. Go figure!
Take care not becoming invicible ! :-D (private joke, sorry)
@OhNoMyPants Where can I find this "Tihon"? There is a player with this name, but he has played only 15 games so far.
@OhNoMyPants Thank you! Very interesting. I expected something like this (9000 puzzles ...).
Yes, anyone can improve. The only question is, are you ready to put in the work?
just because u defeat some 2000 on lichess,not even real life,doesnt mean u are a prodigy
