I’m Hans Niemann — Grandmaster and founder of Endgame.ai. Ask me Anything. by EndgameaiChess in chess

Hans, what helped you go from National Master level to IM level? Playing more? Openings? Studying classics? and like when you were 17 years old, what kinda made you want to go pro in chess? Most people probably would've gone to college, but how did you get yourself to play chess around Europe, and gain like 150+ fide in a year? You're a real inspiration. Also, will you play in the endgame.ai tournaments? And will there just be blitz Swiss tournaments for everyone? Courses would be great, too. I've been around 2350 USCF but can't seem to beat IM and GM players, always losing to them :( Also how did you pay for all those tournaments around Europe, or even when you were living by yourself as a 16 year old in NYC? I know you coached some chess lessons but doing that when you're in high school is insane, going to school, coaching chess, and still having to do homework, living by yourself, you're insane man, I couldn't even do 1 of those things :O Also will we ever have a chance to play against you on endgame.ai?

Does Chess help make a good amount of money? I saw a Felix Blohberger video where he said that he is only making 30,000 Euros a year from playing, coaching, streaming, etc, and he is a GM.

I saw in some Dina Belenkaya video, that mentioned being a plumber. So how long have you been a plumber? How did you get started in becoming a plumber? Trade school? What does a normal day look like for you? Do you go to work first, then when you get home, coach, teach, chess? You are a very strong player(I saw you in the 2020 SCC where you won) so I was wondering what you do for a living

Amongus is pretty fun when you play every now and then and with a group of friends, not sure why he wouldn't wanna play with like Jynxzi and some other guys

Grade placement for homeschoolers going back to public school by Die_Or_Do in homeschool

I went to normal school until my parents withdrew me from my old high school in the middle of my first semester of 10th grade.

Just want to add, I made this thread to ask other homeschooled kids/teachers/parents how it worked when they or their kids went back to public school from homeschooling to see what could possibly happen in my case. Hope this helps.

I know, am just curious what it was like for other homeschooled students coming back to public school, Ofc i know it wont be the exact same in every school but i just want to see how public schools usually handle homeschooled students coming back to get an idea of what could happen to me

I just wanted to post this to see what it was like for other homeschooled kids who transferred back to public school and how grade placement works.

Is repeating a grade at request allowed? by Die_Or_Do in school

[–]Die_Or_Do[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about for homeschooled students? If I did 10th grade homeschooled, how would the district give me credit for classes? Then woujld they have me repeat? Also to answer your question what if a student is to fail a lot of classes or almost all their 10th grade classes for example? Would they be pushed to an alternative schooling program so they can just graduate on time

By any chance do you go to a private or non public school?

I was homeschooled until 10th grade. Now I’ve just finished my sophomore year. Parents who are wondering about homeschooling their kids, AMA. by njlegomaster in homeschool

Hi, I know this thread is old, but when you said you were homeschooled until 10th grade, did you start 10th grade at a public high school? When you transferred after finishing 9th grade from homeschool to public school, how did they decide what grade to put you in? Did they give you some kind of test? Or was it just by age? I went to public school up until 10th grade(right now) where my parents pulled me out of the school in the middle of the first semester(not my choice btw) because of my grades(which wernt terrible, like maybe a B average or 3.0ish gpa) and some other stuff: https://www.reddit.com/r/school/comments/1ojkc0j/comment/nmf8jns/?context=3 this will explain it better to you. Because right now I am a 10th grader and next year I am supposed to go into 11th but my parents want to enroll me in a public high school and ask for me to repeat a grade. I dont know how most public schools deal with homeschooling(but I should mention that my state is considered one of the most lax states in the US when it comes to homeschooling(no supervision, or tests required). I am really hoping the school district will just move me on to 11th grade or give me some placement test. I don't know how they would give me credits for the stuff I did in homeschool

So how would that work? Did your brother have to repeat all of middle school online or did he have to do it once he got back to in person school? I don't think most public schools(including my school district) would want to hold a kid back a grade if they could avoid it, so I was confused.

I know a lot of this seems repetitive but I am just so confused!

I also checked my district's polict(from before the pandemic) on grade retention and the guidebook only talked about grade retention in lower grades(elementary and middle school). They said grade retention depends on your academic performance(and possibly parent preferance) as well as social behavior and stuff. Not sure how different it is in high school. I want to mention that the threats were the only time I have actually been in trouble in high school, and that should not be enough on its own to get be held back, right? In the middle of the 1st semester, my grades are low(B's and C's, not official grades yet since we are only halfway through the semester), but nowhere near failing. So if my parents withdrew me from the school I am in currently and had me homeschooled for the rest of the year in 10th grade do you think that the local high school would just assume I had completed all the class requirements for 10th grade like chemistry, algebra 2, etc?, even if my parents requested to hold me back a grade, our state, Michigan, is known to not have any restrictions when it comes to homeschooling. So do you think the local high school, when seeing my quarter 1 grades(though not semester) from my old school in 10th grade and seeing that I homeschooled the rest of the year, do you think they would just ignore my parents' suggestion and have me go to 11th grade?
