What do you think?

I'm 15, can I reach FM or CM status? Is it possible or it's too late?
I have 172 IQ in Standford - Binet scale. Do you think there is any possiblity my answer was so intelligent that you thought it was stupid?
It is possible, Maurice Ashley is now a GM, and he played in his first tournament when he was 15! ;)
Well, it's difficult to say. The most important thing is a lot of training, mainly but not only do-it-yourself training. So one really needs to enjoy the game. Furthermore there is surely a little bit of talent needed to get to 2300 Elo, not everybody can reach this level.

I'm at 2200-2300 for five years, hoping to get my FM in the future. In my life I dedicated surely thousands of hours to playing and learning chess. Greetings from Germany.
