"FM isn't too hard" says the CM
I agree with that. oc acheiving a little bit more wouldn't be so hard. but everyone is in a different place.
btw, I was watching a vid from a guy sharing one of his "class A" games. he was 9 when he was class A.
it is amazing to think someone could know so Much chess so young. I think of all the things I did not know at 9. and this guys knew then all that I know about chess now and more.
What I mean is that in the days of K40 gaining rating is not as hard as it was 10 years ago. A good tournament can easily give you 50 -60 Fide points when your rating is under 2300.
