By alireza_kaviani, history, 11 months ago, In English

Hey Everyone,

Thank you all for your awesome messages congratulating me on becoming a Legendary Grandmaster! You’re all amazing. I have some exciting news to share!

I’m going to have an interview with 'Algorithms with Shayan' on YouTube. Shayan was my coach in IOI 2022, where I won a Gold medal. We'll talk about how I went from being a complete newbie to becoming a Legendary Grandmaster in coding. It's going to be super cool!

In this interview, I'll share tips for people who want to start coding, and I'll tell some really exciting stories from my coding adventures!

Here's where you come in! If you have any questions about competitive programming or anything else, ask them in the comments below. I’ll pick some of your questions to answer in the interview.

And guess what? I have a surprise! I'm going to give some awesome gifts to people who ask questions and watch our interview. So, don’t miss it!

Stay tuned for the interview on Algorithms with Shayan and let's have a blast together!

Thanks for being awesome,

Alireza Kaviani

UPD: You can also ask me your questions in the discord channel.

I always see Iranians excelling at the top of brain related activities. If interested, please mention your experience regarding Iranian cultural and social aspects which influence this

I think the most important thing in anything is motivation, once you find it you will be on the right path, so what motivates you to continue CP?

First congrats for the LGM!
And i wanted to ask:
1-What was your math background when you started? And how much do you think this affected your progress? What is your advice for someone with weak mathematical knowledge?
2-What changed in your practice after reaching blue? And what do you think is preventing people from reaching it? I can see that it took time&work from you too so what is your advice for people at this stage? What they should focus on?
3-How you deal with distractions and keep focusing on problems while practice especially when it seems hard or you can't solve it

      Solve problems slightly above your rating until you become confident with that difficulty.

Was your training plan changing from a color to another? And how? What comes to your mind right before a contest starts?

  1. On which all platforms do you practice and approx. how many problems you have solved in total?
  2. What different you did compared to other people which you think is pretty significant?
