it will take 2 weeks

lots of time with lots of practice

Yeah, I think you could enter the competition, but becoming a master chess player? That’s going to take your entire life.

well what’s ur rating? in any club, if it’s higher than 1500 than i suppose u couold join scince most tournoments r like that.

There are very few masters in the world ;but you never know;youve already accomplished the feat of master baiter im sure ;keep your chin up and play people who are better then yourself thats how you get better

depends on you….if your good your good. if not just stop playing.

to become a chess master you need pratice and once your brain is full of chess then challenge your chess teacher in you school chess club and if you beat him then your a chess school champion,then join a chess tournement and if you lose then play a online chess game called yahoo chess.com

its a good online chess game if your a begginer.

Chess tournaments are open for everyone. Even super Grandmaster tournaments in far away places have tournaments playing alongside the main event for IM’s, FM’s,club players. etc. You should definitely go ahead and enter this tournament. There’s competition for players of any strength. You might even pick up the prize for your rating level. Playing in as many tournaments as you can is a great way to improve your game as well.

As for the length of time it takes to become a master? Well, there’s no guarantees that any amount of practice will allow everyone to reach this level. The Soviets liked having five year plans, and were very good at developing chess masters. After you’ve worked hard at it for a couple of years, you’ll discover for yourself what it takes, and know for yourself how long it might take you to learn all the skills needed to becaome the master at it.

Well, since your doing all those stuff i guess you are on the right track I think it would take 2 months if you wanna be a chess MASTER. it might be 2 weeks to be a pro at it. But keep it up

No,i dont think you are that good to enter national tournaments right now

But if you PRACTICE AND PRACTICE AND PRACTICE AND PRACTICE you may become nation champion or more

ALL THE BEST ^_^

It will be very challenging 4 u to enter the tournament because experience plays a great role. It will be very difficult to face experienced players…..

2 ways to do it. 1.My friend started at age 20 using book chess studing 3 hours a day 5 days a week went to 2250 in 10 years. 2.Go to google type in matrix chess and bernard parham practice the skills until you become very good at them can be master in 2 years.

EVERY CHESS MASTER WAS ONCE A BEGINNER To become a master level player, you need to study a lot. What matters in chess is the ATTITUDE and HARDWORK. You need to play lot of chess. I don’t think 3-5 games in a day is enough!! Some kids play 5-8 hours chess every day in front of the computer! You need to read lots of chess books, analyze reasonably good number of variations of each game. You should also practice to keep many moves in your brain. You should also read the great games analyzed by other chess masters (read books from Irving Chernev, Nunn if you are a beginner). And keep solving chess puzzles everyday, soon you will become master level player. All the best, Whites.

Well, let’s see…I learned the moves in 1970, played in my first tournament in 1975 (by the way, you don’t have to be at any particular level to play in a national tournament–just cough up the entry fee plus the membership fee for the US Chess Federation), studied the game for several hours a day at one point, and became a master in 1984 (when I was 23). Personally I think playing is much much more important than studying books. Play as many people you can who are somewhat better than you, and keep doing that for as long as you can (and as high up as you can get). Looking over the games of great players is also a good lesson, provided there are copious and informative notes. Fortunately you live in a golden age of online instant opponents, wonderful computer programs and Internet databases featuring millions of games. When I was a kid (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth), we had to drive for miles to get to some weekly chess club meeting, and farther than that to find some weekend tournament (and that was during the Fischer boom too).

You are on the right path, but it can take a lifetime to become a master chess player. It partly depends on you and how much natural ability you have, but it requires a great deal of practice. However, you could certainly enter a national tournament. It would be a good experience and you would find out some things about yourself and your chess playing abilities. Best of luck with your plans.

There are things you have to consider to become a chess champion. What are the roots of success? First of all you need the passion for it, I mean you can’t just play chess and think 3-5 games a day will do it (no offense just the truth which is what you’re asking). Master chess champions practice a lot. They try to think of every possible moves beforehand. Maybe like 10 turns before it even happens. They also have to make sure they defended with enough pieces and that they have the better trade off if the opposing player decided to do that move. Becoming a chess champion requires lots of hard work and persistence. In anything that you do unless you have the passion for it, you probably won’t be the best at it. I mean you’re brain wouldn’t be so enthusiastic about the game if you weren’t passionate about it, so then it would show on your game. Or even sports anything really. If you decided to play basketball, a passionate player would try his best to improve his skills and strive to play better. Some people are just born with specific traits. That’s why we’re all different. Some a good at basketball or baseball, or soccer, or chess. Who knows you might become the next world champion etc. If you joined the chess club and read all sorts of books about chess I think you have the passion for the game. I think you can improve enough to enter a national tournament.
