Lars you’re like 12-13 you can easily live and breathe chess 8+ hours a day and are young enough where you can obviously learn faster than a 30 year old streamer with a GF, house, actual responsibilities, streaming career, and a kid. The fact he made even somewhat comparable progress to you, which is expected for a talented kid, goes to show how good he is. To put this way I’ve never heard of someone in Tyler’s case ever, but the chess world has definitely seen more talented kids than you quite often. Being young here actually goes against you.

Hmm, sounds very logical actually

I hate when people claim its easy to be a 1800. That puts a person at better then 95% of all chess players. I played on and off over the years and the best I can do here is around 1340. Many here would say I'm total garbage, but on the street I could probably beat 9 of 10 people consistently. I guess I should just entirely quit, cause I'm never making 1800, even if I play the next 10 yrs straight and that thought is, so depressing to me. It's just a game, but it isn't...

prodigy has nothing to do with being young. Your confusing phenom with Prodigy. Prodigy is simple someone who improves very quickly. Phenom is Prodigy but they are very young. An example of a phenom would be the top 20 juniors in the world right now. A very good example is Alireza a couple years back like 2017-2019.

"phenom" is a general term, and shortened version of phenomenal. Why are you ascribing a new meaning to that which doesn't exist? Nothing about the word suggests young, or has anything to do with above average acuity in Chess.
