@bobbyfischer2019: I’m tired. For almost 7 years, I’ve been working completely on my own. For 7 fucking years, every single day, I’ve told myself: “You can do better.” Every fucking day, I’ve tried not to give up, just fucking not to give up. But in the end, it led to nothing. If anyone is reading this, and you’re perhaps a passionate chess fan, my advice to you is this: don’t go into professional sports, especially a sport like chess, completely on your own and without money, unless you’re ready to work yourself to the limit. During the first few years, I could afford it. I was ambitious enough, talented, and maybe even too optimistic. But my world started falling apart after 2023. After that, the good results stopped coming. That was probably the one thing that had kept me going, because nothing else really changed. Someone might say: “Seven years ago, you were working on your own, and seven years later, nothing has changed. So what affected your mental state so much?” The results. When I worked hard, I achieved what I wanted. But when I faced failure for the first time—truly major failures—I started breaking down. And no one, which was probably foolish of me to expect, helped me get out of that state. Most likely, I’ll end my career sometime around 2028 and move into coaching, most likely. That’s the path... #chess #chesstok #bobbyfisher #chessplayer

chess is meaningless if you are expecting something out of it and it will take you so much time from your life and youll fall behind on other areas like social life and career .Started at 18 ,after 4 years i reached 2700 blitz online only playing and solving puzzles ,no OTB ,no coaches nothing ,then i hit the ceiling ,no matter how i tried i coudnt get passed my peak .I started late ,at 18 neuroplasticity had already established its solid pathways . I came to the rational conclusion that no coach or training could further improve me . That was the limit of my pattern recognition skills ,visual capacity . You just have to come to terms with your own limits the fact that your current brain configuration cannot store more chess imagery and translate that into a useful pattern recognition.

You are very good at chess, you have surpassed many people. You have tried your best and you should know, some people are proud of you, including me.I myself play chess, trying to be a good player, but in fact I can't, I fail at playing and even fail at learning.So, seeing you come this far, shows how hard you've worked.how tired you are,I myself hope to be as good as you, and can learn from you.If possible, I hope to learn some things from you. You are an amazing person,I can't deny that I admire you.

Keep going. You have the level for 2900 blitz but something’s missing. You have to find it.

my advice, everyone capability not same.everybody will reach their one limit.even hikaru have his limit and unseen wall that only Magnus have exceptional capability to reach the top and see what all top players can't see.not because top players not good ,but because god gave magnus some super vision,photographic memory,that not all ordinary human like us have.maybe,that ur limit in chess..even u have polish many times.

I have seen , working every day just builds up brain fog , it just makes you go autopilot instead of deep thinking and seeing critical moves. I think its best you take a break to clear the brain fog. Your an inspiration
