Comments.Text: One option is to hire a GM trainer.  Some chess content creators play their followers sometimes so you could look into that.

  There are some ways where you can get a match vs GMs. I've played a bunch of them in the following ways:
  
  1. Many GMs like Minh Le, Benjamin Bok, Eric Hansen, and Hikaru stream on [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/chess-1). Sometimes, they play against their viewers through arenas and individual challenges. So, if you tune in to those streams, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get a game versus them.
  2. Apart from streaming, there are online arenas regularly on [chess.com](https://www.chess.com) and [lichess.org](https://www.lichess.org)(for example, Titled Tuesday, Titled Arena, and Bullet Brawl) where several titled players participate(including many GMs). If you have a title, you'll be able to verse them. If you don't have one, don't worry; there are other arenas where GMs participate(Warmup for Titled Arenas, Community Events, etc.).
  3. There are GM trainers available for coaching on [chess.com](https://www.chess.com/coach) and [lichess.org](https://www.lichess.org/coach). You can contact them for personalised training games, too. In return, they'll charge you some money.
  
  Good luck!
