No no, my progression was teeeeeeerrible compared to the real prodigies. I think my initial rating was around 1950 at the age of 13, or something like that. At the peak "prodigousness" I was around 2300 at 16, which is still incredibly lol-worthy compared to other guys on the list.
I think BJJ just secretly stalked me and forgot to delete me from the list
