Any masters who started late

in life everything get around the pussy not chess
and don't believe to girl that say money do not count and that love is the only things that matter...because no girl would take your debt....so...spent your time trying to reach fm level with a dick in your hand...or make you a life that at 27 could be the case
and in that moment I neither know if I m dead or alive...pherhaps I should become to believe in god and praying for my soul
Let's go back to posts #295 and earlier. (Btw - if @Sick77 has to do with moderators next time, it may be a consequence of my report to the moderators of his posts here.)

Let me summarize and contradict partly:

1. @LukaCro: If anyone writes independent of age it would be no big deal to get a FIDE title except CM that let us please forget this. Getting master anywhere in an art or a profession is a performance worth respect.
2. @Sarg0n has a playing strength most chess players anywhere would be happy to get. So any discussion cannot be seriously disregarding this.
3. If MC started now, .... is a kind of maybe interesting but in any case not helpful discussion, as it is about something you can only believe and you will never know.
4. GM Shaw: This IS interesting indeed and leads to different conclusions dependent of the use or let's better say intended content of "start". Personally I think this is clear from the former discussion here and depending on the personal view of what is beginning chess and making a difference between serious study and playing around this difference in conclusion is justified. At least noone is to blame for assuming 1800 is a beginner in the title race, if there is no proof for serious study before. Else you may blame me or help me correct my opinion by giving some new argument.
5. If I have read and understood correctly all participants in this topic agree in one point: There is no, really no, guarantee to reach a title. So the only justification to try to get one is having fun in chess or training chess! It would show a lack of responisibility to tell - YOU can get the title. On the other way round it would be as wrong for other reasons to tell: YOU can't reach 20xx in otb. (But this is no FIDE master title, maybe a club master.)

Disclaimer: I will continue following here and am working on some topics about getting better. The start will be about empirical psychology and training. This will need some time and I have to spend time in family affairs consuming a lot of time. I've finished the first table of content. Setting myself a little under pressure I commit publicly to post the progress in 14 day on Saturday or Sunday.
It's especially encouraging to hear those words from sick77, a guy who spent the whole month playing here, time which could've been invested much better!
@jupp53 you have written you reported my posts to the moderators...so I'm not accusing you...it is a fact

do not worry I know me very well...and I know what I can do and what no...and I'm not spending time pretending to be something I'm not.

in any case no one care....

peace and enjoy your plastic
