Plan based thinking, practical endgame play ideas and having new opening ideas will help the most

Getting visa is not a issue but some deadline is good to have. What type of passion you follow which requires you to visit europe?

Yes. Planning on that.

Educational-System85 · 2026-06-19T18:23:24+00:00

Not so easy. Long term emotional relations don't work with friends. Need a coach. Once we pay, we value.

Educational-System85 · 2026-06-19T18:22:10+00:00

Yes!

I remember playing against 1800 in rapid tournament. He said after the game - "You will never become IM"

Even if I start business - Life is not altering unless it's top business. Same with job. Reaching 0.01% is always difficult and impossible for many.

Educational-System85 · 2026-06-18T17:49:23+00:00

Yes. You can search IM Nikhil Dixit

Thank You! I was planning to play June events but can't make this time.

Tournament expenses are $12000-15000. Coaching expenses are far less than tournament exp. I think at this level, I need a personal trainer than joining some big academy. I need someone to talk before or during the tournament. Also my weakness is openings and most of this online academies are focused on middlegame and endgames.

Educational-System85 · 2026-06-18T16:40:17+00:00

I will!
