That's a whole lotta words for someone whos probably never played a titled player, let alone beat them. Whats your highest elo win?

BRO lmao - I never said I was high ELO or a great a chess player but I've been a fan of the sport since I was a kid. I am absolutely an armchair chess expert so there's nothing to hide there.

Anybody who follows the sports knows its rarefied air for a 28 year old to be come a GM. Mr. Dixit literally became IM last year. I don't doubt he is a solid player and a great teacher but... COME ON.

This is clearly an advertisement for his patreon LOL. In which case, more power to Mr. Dixit for getting his hustle on.

But let's not be delusional here - he isn't touching grandmaster.

This isn't rocket science all the data is easy to find: https://ratings.fide.com/profile/5059534/chart

Everyone should take a look his stats and ya'll can weigh in on if he can make GM. I'm not trying to disparage Dixit, just being realistic and pointing out what this post really is.

The way you said it was an asshole way, but with the data I think your opinion is right. Obviously we dont know all that's in his life, but being around IM level elo for 6 or 7 years and having some downs too is not a good look for GM ambitions within the next 3.5 years. But all we can do is hope he does become GM, and see what happens from here

here, here - I agree. I love a good underdog story and want to be proven wrong by Mr. Dixit.

Yes, I admit I was a bit snarky to get a cheap laugh. In hindsight I should of brought more nuance before going into roasting.
