From when you started playing seriously to when you became a 1200, how long did it take?

Never been that low. My first chess rating was about 120 Bcf...which is about 1400. That was in my early teens.....but it's all relative....I've been around 2250....but never really studied the game....I had a proper job to do.

Some hours. My first rating was 1200.

I play exactly 1 year Chess and have registered here in August. After about 2 months ago I was in 1200. Of course, it varies. I did everything himself appropriated me play through daily, reading books and computer analysis. good luck

I've played for years and I have never been over 800.

Two games.

A week or so. (on lichess, where the ratings are calculated differently)

I never reached 1200. Started with 800. Lost a lot of matches because of being out of time. Now back to 700 from 400 where i restarted. Gues it takes a year to reach 1200 for me.

I could do that it 1 second by setting a new account as expert.

why its harder to play with rating  650 gamers then playing with 1000-1200 rating?

Around 2 to 5 months starting from 400
