I think his friends just gave up, he doesn't have a coach and tries to grind it by himself with no feedback from a pro who can understand his shit, I think he doesn't even train that hard, he said he reads like 9999 books per second but strangely, somehow, he keeps making the same mistakes and trying to play like "Karpov".

Furthermore, I don't even think he has a truly favorite player; he mentions Karpov and "positional masters," but it seems that this style of play isn't suited for him. I believe he stunted his playing by being a faggot, scaredy cat, and playing the London/Caro Kann early, and avoiding any type of complication/calculation. There is a reason coaches teach to play e4 and to try to attack and be aggressive, even pic related agrees.
