Hi, like the question says, I want to know if anyone has reached GM/M/CM by topic based practicing, and not by just solving random problems. I've heard from many that it is bad in the long run, but I still wanted to know if anyone got good results.

Edit — Looks like I have my answer. The downvotes are from those for whom this strategy worked probably and don't want to reveal it. /s

Basically, just practice. Your overall skill will improve.

Has anybody ever asked a question like this after solving more than 50 problems?
