I have started playing Chess in the last 9 months though I knew the Chess Basics from childhood like how the pieces move as I belonged to a Chess Loving Family. When I started in the last 9 months, I was 1400 in Blitz and Rapid and I used to win those <1500 Rapid Arenas. Then I took a break during January and February, but then I again opened this account (as I closed the previous one) and started concentrating on Chess and to my surprise, I saw that I was quite a little improving in Blitz and Bullet. I dont play Rapid with my Account. I play Rapid Anonymously as there are many cheaters.
I know Lichess Ratings are far much greater than others, but I found myself to be improving day by day. Now I'm on average1800 in all Standard time controls. So should Iconcentrate more on Chess, or I just play for fun?

bu can't dictate if you are a chess prodigy by playing blitz and bullet
If you are from a wealthy family and receive monthly income from the family business, you can devote your time to professional chess. Dropping out of college or quitting jobs is impractical if you are a middle class.
There are many skills that can be learned from becoming a good chess player,
They are useful in my daily tasks,
Particularly when I am playing chess.
I don't believe that you're a chess prodigy. Why? because your progression is pretty standard for a youngster who's interested in the game. Winning 400 rating points is not that impressive and actuelly happens pretty often. I saw a man who started at 1300 and was 2300 in 6 months time and I don't even call this "genius" or "prodidgy". I call this dedication and love for the game. And no. Don't drop school even if you're a GM. I mean, only top 50 players (2700 fide) can live a decent and comfortable life out of chess. You can hire a coach but don't spend all of your life on chess and keep on studying school subjects such as maths, physics, chemistry, languages, history.... and get a real job that we'll keep you happy. But don't say that you're a chess prodidgy otherwise you'll fall into depression when you meet stronger players.
@gothica31, yeah thanks for those logical things you posted. I really agree withbyou. I cant even think of leaving studies for Chess. But I was thinking of getting some offline Coaches or Coaching Clubs as I thought of improving more. I may not have been improved unless I loved the game!
