Two days ago I did it, I did it, after a year and a half that I killed myself like this I got the result that I had expected, which was to reach Skakki, a level that is called 2000 elo or elo 2000 elo, come on, come on, in practice it is a classic that there are skaks where you see your level 2000 is the level that separates you, let's say, from the amateur, from what a skater is, to be a decent player According to CS.com, there are 200 million users on the site, where I played, you are better than 99.7% of the planet What do you say? Wow, that's a phenomenon! No! Apparently, compared to a professional skater, you are a skater But, compared to 99.7% of the planet that plays Skakki, you are better And then in this video I want to condense and re-assume 7 rules that I applied to get this result And that I always applied, every time I managed to get results in my life, of any kind I always applied these rules, I apply them and apply them to anyone who gets results, apparently These rules are valid in skaks, in ping pong, in sport fishing, in all sectors They are universal rules that I hope can be useful to you Let's start with the first one Rule number one is to decide and concentrate completely on what is the goal And you will say "Monti, what do I decide, I don't know, I decide, it's easy to decide" Most people will be surprised, they don't decide, most people may say "I want to improve my skakki" But I try, it's not that they decide, they say "No, I want to become 2000 skaks" Apparently, the skaks you see online, to make a minimum skaking culture There are different levels between the online part and the live part, when you play in front of the skater The online level is higher than the live part, so a 2000 skater online is actually worth 1800 on the skater To give them an idea, it's more difficult to play in front of the skaters than to play online Apparently, it's closed But the first step that is always undervalued is to decide You decide to get a result, you decide to put yourself on the spot It's not that you make a tentative, you try, you hear "I pass the coffee, but I try, but what do I try, either I pass it or I don't pass it" The concept is very simple Every time, personally, I decided to get a result, I made a clear decision In this case, I took it publicly, I decided to do this social experiment Where in public, I said "Guys, I want to get this result" Obviously, I try, so it's true that you try, put your best effort I didn't know at the beginning if I would have managed to get it or not But I made a clear decision and I declared it publicly You know, when one says "If you publicly declare what goal you want to achieve, you have more responsibility" Because the other people then keep you responsible for what you said In my case, I amplified it by 1000 Because on social, imagine all the comments of the people who then every 2 seconds say "So, did you get this result?" I had said that I wanted to reach it within the end of the year I arrived, let's say, 6 months later But, I made it In addition to deciding, in rule number 1, which is precisely this total focus There is a topic of concentration And concentration in this society of "smink social" is something that is skipped It's not just the usual news that we have the attention of the red fish At most we are focused for 4 seconds Yes, yes, that's true But you, in fact, look around and realize that the vast majority of people Is not able to stop, to sit down, to stand still like this And concentrate on an argument for, I don't know, half an hour, an hour in a row You put yourself there and you concentrate The crazy thing, then, of chess is that you have to do it It's not that you can play like this, while you're spitting, etc. No, you have to put yourself there, stop, in silence, possibly And concentrate You have to be focused The power of concentration is extraordinary Because the more you concentrate, the more you learn to think better The less you concentrate, the less you think well The more you think merdously, the more you make decisions that are terrible And the crazy thing about chess is that they are like a radiography They should be used as a medical instrument When you play, you see exactly if your brain is active or if it's off And you realize, at least what I've seen about myself That the vast majority of the days, my brain is completely off I was playing bad chess But then I make very important decisions, personally, for my companies And I say, "Damn, I'm deciding with my brain, which is below zero" And then, the first fundamental rule Any objective in terms of giving me Maximum concentration, maximum attention, maximum decision, maximum editing Who was talking about "focus", "stede jobs" Usually it's phrase, we've said it a thousand times "Focus" isn't the way of saying "yes" It's the way of saying "no" "No" has everything else I mean, I concentrate on that I decide, I concentrate, 100% Rule number two Once I've decided and I'm ready on a piece, with my head centered All concentrated, I have to go all in I have to do what Tony Robbins, when he entered the state many years ago Defines "Take Massive Action" Taking in charge the idea of having a massive action For me, I would define it as a global attack, a nuclear attack I don't know, a mass attack Where you don't just give yourself a bit to do You train yourself a bit, you go inside with all your shoes For me, this is a normal approach, I've always done it in everything I've done When I started this example on social media, I started making videos And I made a video every month, a video every 15 days A weekly post, I don't know, stuff like that This was the philosophy in the world of business And I said, "you know what? I go inside with all my shoes, I make a video every day" And then I started there, I took billions of criticism Of people shouting at me, that it's not possible, that it's fucked up And today, if we move to 2025, other than a video every day I have 50 pieces of content to post every day The scale has increased a lot, but the concept was to take a massive action I go inside with all my shoes and I play, in case of breaks, as much as possible In my case, I did something like, I'll tell you, 12,000 games, something like that Since the beginning, I started playing, I'll tell you exactly I started playing in January 2023 Since I was a kid, yes, since I was a kid, if I can say that I was a kid But I've never played in Vitamina, I was 53 years old So it's not that I'm really crazy, it's hard to start something like the breaks That is extremely complicated when you have a certain age I started in January 2023, I did some tests I remember I did that challenge, trying to understand if I could learn the breaks in a week And from there, I became passionate, so I started playing I started on the piece from January 2024, until January 2024 And in this period of time, I played 11,640 games That when you see them, you say "it's not possible" Like I said, 11,600 games from January 2024 And the reason for that, people think it's not possible Or maybe I used bots, I don't know, people who played in the first place I don't know, there is any theory on this topic And people don't understand what it means to "enter" or "in" on something That is the same criticism that time made, "it's not possible" "You can never make a video a day, impossible" There was no layout, where you had to put yourself there Making the video didn't exist in the short videos, there wasn't even that concept So the idea of making a video, I don't know, of 5 or 10 minutes Every day, you make the video, record it, mount it, load it, it was all slower It seemed impossible, so there were tests instead, it wasn't possible Because you simply have to organize yourself You have to have the habit, the procedures that allow you to produce on a large scale In this case, it was more problematic, if you want, my personal experience Because I thought "okay, I'll do a brute force attack" I play a huge amount of games to have a bit of experience Because I, as a player of chess, I'm a neonate, basically I've never played, so I've never seen the positions of the game, it's a dream And then, I try to put in a huge amount of games I throw in this glass of water, and everything goes on And then I hope that I will have something inside Even just for automation, the more I put in, the faster it is possible And the more I get a result And that's what I did, in practice, I tried to find any possible moment If you're in the bathroom while playing chess, go take your kids to school If you have to wait there for 5 minutes, it's fine, play chess I did the tournament, the theaters, every time I went back to the hotel At the end of the show, I play chess Before the show, I play chess Obviously, this allowed me to do billions of games On the other hand, it's not the best situation, I agree with you Because, if I think about it, maybe a third of the games I lost them Simply because "Monti, you have to go" "No, I'm playing, no, you have to go" "Okay, I'm leaving, you're abandoned" Or if you're completely distracted, you can't concentrate No. 1, decide and concentrate But I thought that, in my case, I have 4 kids, a start-up I mean, I have a life, that's what I do as a professional chess player I thought that the only chance I have is to find any possible moment To try to throw the chess inside And then it's a way, not so much to win in that case But it's a way to build the muscle of this continuous constancy Of this continuous persistence And if you always have it in your head, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom In this way, you're always with the problem in mind And the question every day is always the same What is the solution? What is the solution? Why is the solution there? If I play, I have a position in front of me And then, I go to a chamber, I call it a chamber, Magnus Carlsen or Kaspar And look at my own position He knows exactly what the solution is, what the right move is to do in that position I don't know why, because they are clearly much better than me But this simply means that the solution is there, but I don't know what it is And this is worth thinking about at work You try to do more and you don't succeed But there are people who do much more than you How do they do it? They have a solution and you don't have it It's just about understanding what the solution is But the solution is there Rule number 3 is to find the right master Because you can have the whole focus of the world The concentration, you have decided, you are determined You play millions of games, you work 150 hours a day, etc. But you don't go anywhere if you don't have the right master And the right master is that person, that book, that mentor, online, physical You choose him at the end of the account That helps you to understand what is the best way for you to solve that problem And it's not easy to find the right master Because sometimes you might have a fantastic Vimpong coach I remember there was a fantastic Vimpong coach But it wasn't right for me, his method wasn't right for me And then you have to find the right information, but also the right approach for you In my case, in this research experience I found the perfect master for me He has an amazing scholarship, an amazing master and an extraordinary person, philosophically wonderful And therefore perfect for me at the level of intellectual stimuli Even in the theater show, I close the show with his sentence, on the thought "If you think the future belongs to you" But also a series of reflections he makes when he talks about jokes Then you apply them to everyday life For example, when you have to face a problem, a sentence that once said to me, I was impressed You have to try to have a less historical and geographical approach The historical approach is the one we always did like this So let's try to understand how to solve this situation The geographical approach is that you look at a map and based on the map you make a decision If the map changes, the decision will also change And that's it, an infinity is worth seeing these videos Even if you don't care about the jokes It's really a pleasure to hear Pierre talk about it And above all an approach that I share Because it's not the approach of the shortcut, the trick "Come on, let's become 2,000 fast, quick, with three tricks" No, no, no, no, we build a right mentality We build, in this case, a correct skeptic mentality But that's the most important approach And finding the right master is fundamental In my case, for the other Pierre, the signal did all this for free We found each other once a week, half a week, then not every week And apparently, in my life, in his life, we tried to make this path together Where he shared free of charge lessons available to everyone The ones we looked at in these lessons And every week, we saw some concepts, some games And he helped me in this path, both from a technical point of view From an intellectual point of view and also from a support point of view Because, you know, when you try to achieve a result that is very difficult At least for me, it was very difficult But it's not easy, so you need someone who believes in you It's present in the Pigmalione effect, how it works That if I believe in you, I behave differently with you Your chances of doing it may increase But if you treat yourself as someone who will never do it It's not the best, you'll also have some flexibility An error, unfortunately, that we all make when we try to achieve a result Is to trust the wrong masters Or, if we follow a method of Delocuto Nanto Impostati, which are crazy, Fuffa Guru, Agogo It's a big problem, and I also saw it in the sketches That there's so much stuff that you say "Boo, I follow this" Or this weird theory that seems to work That you're always very tempted by the twist and by Fuffa Guru Because what promises you the fastest and fastest result But we often know that it's not like that Instead, the most difficult road where you're left with the problem And you go through it, and you do it, and you explore it in all its corners Is what brings you the result And to be an right trainer, the right mentor Is one of the most important parts If you change that, it's a mess Because if you have the hydraulic that isn't capable Then you have the water at home I don't know how to say, this is the problem Or follow crazy theories Even if you do it, a loving guy, you're focused and so on A classic anecdote that always comes to my mind At the Velodrome Vigorelli, where I trained for many years I remember that there was this player who was always there He trained every day, he was always on the piece But he had the wrong trainer, so his technique is never improved It's like if I go to the kitchen, and I'm totally denied to cook And I'm 12 hours a day in the kitchen Or someone who teaches me, or in some way I manage to teach myself In some way, if not, I will continue to cook my spaghetti and tomato That are very good But Davide Uldani does it better Rule number 4 is to learn to be alone This, I don't know, seems to be something so obvious But I look around and no one wants to be alone I don't know why, some characters, clearly If you're a bit crazy, out of your mind like me It's easier to be alone, because you say "Well, I've never tried a Ra, but I'm alone" So some people are easier But think about it for a second What do you want to get in your life? You get it alone Of course you can have the trainer, the group, the family The friends, the people, the team, the team, everything you want But at the end of the day, if you want to get into shape In the gym, the exercises You have to do them It's not that you do it to someone else, if you want to learn math You have to get there and study Take a book, ok? Big book for another one, Tao of Charlie Munger Take a book with all my little notes I don't know if you can see it, with all my little notes And put yourself here and study alone Then you can be in a more pleasant environment I don't know, in a bar, in a co-work But at the end, you are with yourself that you have to do this activity In chess, this stuff is amplified by 3000 You put yourself in front of a screen in my case Or in front of a cell phone You put yourself there, I stop and think This is hard, maybe a quarter of an hour I play a match in ten minutes, a quarter of an hour you put yourself there I stop and move So you have to be a bit particular about it But do you understand that the importance of being alone And being comfortable in the discomfort of solitude Does the whole difference in the world When you say Warren Buffet, you put yourself there And read alone, you were 8 hours to read But this is fundamental Because it also helps you to think better To know yourself better To understand better what your weaknesses are Your strengths, your fears are You have to somehow have this ability To be well alone, at least when you do that activity Then obviously you want to be with as many people as possible But if you have to improve your service At Tennis or Paddle, do you want to improve your fucking vibrato That I never shoot inside? You have to put yourself there And by yourself, put yourself there to vibrate Even at Tennis or in Pong, I remember a boy Half an hour a day, the service Grab the chest, half an hour a day Repetition, repetition, repetition I like it, if you spoil it But that's how it works Rule number 5 is to be able to put your eyes And cancel the background noise The background noise is composed of a thousand things In my case, the background noise Is composed of the variators I have In the years, imagine the one I bought on Coglioni That since day one, they started to make videos Send messages, comment everywhere Saying "Monte Magno, you will never do it" If it's a fucking shit, what do you think you'll be able to do in life? You shit, figure, you have the head to play shit You're too old, because after 50 years The brain doesn't have plasticity You don't have plasticity anymore And it's like that, indefinitely Every day, every day, every day In my case, ignoring the background noise Is a bit easier, because they're different This thing about the haters, those who denigrate Those who say they won't notice anything I've had it since I was 15 And so it's not a new thing It makes me look like an asshole And it charges me It's the opposite, the more I wear it, the more it charges me And this is the secret I'll tell you if you're a native speaker If you want me to make a video or something I'll leave you alone, and then I'll be back If you wear it, I'll say "I'm here all my life" I can go forward every day To infinity, got it? You can go forward every day to infinity I don't know, let's talk But this ability to remove the background noise Is fundamental, maybe you don't have denigrators Because you don't make a public challenge But you'll have a background noise That doesn't try to bring you up Try to pull you down Imagine you want to make a start-up And around you there are people who have a fixed place But according to you, they'll say "Oh, great, I'm happy for you, come on, you're doing it" No, they'll say "Are you sure?" "Think about it, find a safe job" They're ready just to see your failure Because this will justify their choices There's no right or wrong choice A fixed job, a safe job, an entrepreneur It all goes well But each one of us has different desires In life, different ambitions And it's right that each one pursues what he wants to do When you try to get a result You always have external voices That are a great distraction And the problem is that sometimes you end up believing in yourself Because it's not that things are always going well And here, rule number 6 You have to give up Don't give up Because you know that when you give up You have the enthusiasm Then when you start putting yourself in a challenge To get a result, it's not easy Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't You always want more time than you imagine Losing becomes your normal condition You lose every day because you don't have that result And you have to be strange, as Naval says You have to be patient with the actions But patient with the results This is an art to master that isn't easy And there comes this game Of persistence, of constancy Where even if you have doubts I've had many, this year and a half I thought, well, I can't do it I can't get this result Because it's difficult, at least for me Because I'm a limited brain But 2000 and I skip it online Even if it's easier than playing offline Damn, it's difficult I don't know how to say it It's complicated and it's a complex sport Where you have to think With the maximum attention And miss a move and lose a match And there were moments when I thought I can't get this result Because I don't know what to say So you're frustrated, you spent a lot of time Imagine how many times in your life It happens on everything we do But your ability is to have this Don't give up Go to the gym You match against Mike Tyson In his golden moment You get a lot of inspiration And when you finish the go-fi You say, see you tomorrow Come on, give me the others And tomorrow you come back and take it And this is the approach Obviously, the more you have experience And maybe more experience Like from an entrepreneur or from a sportsman And the more this is a normal condition I mean, that's how it is for me When I play ping pong When I start to do a start-up It's normal This is my day So, I mean, ok There's news from that point of view But the fact that it's normal Doesn't mean that it's a cosy joke It means that it's a nice broken neck You have to face it every day This feeling is always horrible inside But you live with it and you have to go beyond The only way to get out of it To solve the problem Is to go through it And then the rule number 7 Is to enter as quickly as possible Until it doesn't work In the world of start-ups The classic solution Is to get out when you have an idea With a fast prototype Puff, MVP, Minimum Viable Pro All this shit here What does it mean to get out with a prototype The market tells you "No, Bruce, change it right away" "Oh, I don't want the yellow functionality, the red one" "Oh, not red, but with the ball" And you continue to change Until you find a solution And that's all Let's repeat all these elements Focus, focus, decision-making Massive action, having a method with a coach Maximum perseverance Cancellation and performance of the background And iterate as quickly as possible Here, this year and a half This was the path All these rules together To try to play as much as possible But with a method To see the mistakes To understand what mistakes are To analyze the matches To change at that point Ok, when I play with the Karo Kahn Advanced variation What is the classic mistake I'm doing Shit, shit, that's it Ok, next time I try to do it differently And try again and again And it's right, it's right, it's right And in the meantime There is also a part of complex study In my case I watched Millions of videos on YouTube Analysis I watched Banzia that makes the stairs Using the system of London And then you watch Ches Bra that makes the stairs Using C6 against everything And then you watch the course I bought the course video How to play and how to play And then you follow the video of the great master Luca Amoroni who was greeting And thank you, apparently well seen Luca, who surpasses 3000 So at a fantastic level You're always immersed You stop, let's go back To what we said at the beginning Inside the problem, attached to the problem Always with this question What is the solution? Because I know that the solution is there And then the solution is the Zecchi These 7 rules of good sense I really hope of hearts that can be useful to you Not just to play chess If you want to play chess well I suggest it to you, it's wonderful But for any objective you want to reach If you want to work, let me know If you are useful, turn it to someone Maybe I want to get some results And this video can be useful to you But let's remember the moral of the fable As the sage said Fall seven times Rise again
