I was wondering how your personal progress in the game came about. In your development as a chess player, did you have so-called 'revelations' in your play allowing for large spikes in progress in a short amount of time? Was it a relatively gradual and steady growth in your understanding of the game? Was your advancement in your play very noticeable to you?

What would you say is the major difference in understanding of, say, a 2200 player and a GM?

Thank you for your informative channel.

@poprockssuck87 The growth of a chess player is usually gradual (well maybe Carlsen is an exception), and experience takes years to mature. There is a very big difference between a player 2200 and a GM. The GM "feels" the position better, knows easier how to make his/her pieces "dance" and go to the right place. But it's usually from "pattern recognition" due to large chess practice.

@SlurpeeTard I started chess at 5 years old and 19 years later, after lots of chess training I become the 12th Women's World Chess Champion.
