440 means you’re basically a GM. Congrats.

chess isn't like what you see in movies. nobody is naturally good at it.

you have to spend at least a decade playing to become a pro.

440 is the highest rating in the world, you need to call magnus before someone steals it. He might give you a sponsorship, heck FIDE will let you in their finals. Like you could cook me blindfolded.

That’s the highest rating that’s ever been achieved. Email FIDE a screenshot of your profile and they’ll probably let you into the world championship without even having to play the candidates.

#9 I don’t think you understand the rating system. It’s weirdly complicated and doesn’t make much sense but bigger number does not equal better

760 is not actually better than 440

yes it's like a weird graph where 440 is a vertical asymptote, basically impossible to achieve and the best rating there is. this guy broke chess

@shreyaispro. From your handle, seems like you'd already decided

10 year old IMs and 12 year old GMs totally debunk this.
