I remember watching a clip of a podcast where some grandmaster mentioned that any normal adult can reach FM without any innate talent and instead a lot of time and effort to dedicate only to chess. What about a 40 year old man with responsibilities? Let's say he has 6 hours a day to dedicate to chess, do you all think this man can reach FM or anywhere close? why or why not, and if he cant where do you think his limit would be?
#Can a random 40 year old get a chess title if they have no prior chess experience?

with some natural affinity i think 6 hours a day is definitely sufficient
im not optimistic that a working adult has that much time though😭

If he loves the game he will make time, and if thats his goal and he works every day to achieve it then its inevitable that he will achieve it

after something in my life ends (~2 weeks) i want to start working on chess seriously too
and i feel/hope one hour of focused training a day is enough for results? because i've never studied chess properly so im hoping to improve quite a bit lol

how long have you been playing chess for

I don't do any focused studying either just play and analyze my games
Same I’ve been playing for 3 years but I got beaten by someone that’s only been playing for 9 months and some weeks
civic topaz
do you have plans for studying as well
None specifically because I cant dedicate too much of my time to chess rn

It's possible, but do you ACTUALLY want to go through that?
