Not if it took you a whole month to get to 2200.

I can still beat 99% of the ex-con punks on Canal St. though.

What's the best way to learn to be a really good chess player? Any particular online resources available for recommendation?
Chess.com app is really all you need. You can play all you want for free, watch grand and international masters go head to head and pay for lessons if you choose.

I think I spent less than 2 months for violation of probation in parish jail back in 2015-16 and now I’m a chess grand champ

Happy to elaborate. I know other openings, but those are my go-to systems.
Way over my head, but I have cursory knowledge of what you’re talking about because I do the quick analysis and it’ll give the names of the openings. I just play by instinct, but I’m sure I’d develop my game quite a bit if I put a bit more effort into it. Just seems like an awful lot to remember.

I play 5 minute games

I like 5 minute games a lot, my favorite are the 10 minute games though. Anything longer and I get really impatient.

I took second in our college tournament. Due to all the really good ones being seeded together. I got slaughtered in the championship.
Still, I scored a shite ton of points in the dorm inter-mural competition, which we won. More than any jocks.
Life is absurd.
