Why Being Amateur Might Be Better Than Being Grandmaster

Wow, this made me think a little bit differently, and I love the Gukesh vs. Ding source. Some people enjoy the stress though...
As Billie Jean King said: "Pressure is a privilege."
Chessmood trying to grift you out of your Christmas money with bad advertisment blog posts again XD

AAAHHH the hard life of a rich GM... Gabuzyan developps a style, and it's not better than Avetiks !
A very interesting topic from GM Gabuzyan.
I want to be a GM or really any title, i dont care about becoming WC, would i still face pressure then? You are a GM, what is your experience? I am not FIDE rated (yet, hope to be soon though) so i havent been to any MAJOR tournaments whats the experience like though?
Once it becomes a profession, you have to find another hobby.
Another disadvantage of being a GM - you have to write stupid clickbait "content" in order to attract students to your courses. As an amateur, you can just play and enjoy the game! Awesome!
