Congrats! Great article.
Do you go for the grandmaster-title or what comes next? I am wondering as you haven't played a rated game since beginning of September. It almost looks like the blogarticle is a farewell to otb-chess.
One of your beautiful journey photos would have fit better as a teaser image than that badly cropped AI picture with the six fingers :-)

true but i clicked because of the tiger
Not a fan of the AI art :(
photoshopping a chessboard onto 2 tigers might be cool
now that i think of it, photoshopping has completely died because of ai art. maybe it should be brought back
The biggest question of all is, why would you want to be an IM

There's a lot of life to catch up on after 7 years of tourneys. After I'm caught up with a family and kids I might try for GM, but will take a while. I'm still playing a lot of OTB rapids but classical is a big time-commitment...

You might be right, I was trying to convey the idea that being strong inside will make metaphorically make you that chess tiger :)
