Hello Friends,

This question is mainly for Chess professionals. How do I get a rating of 2000?

I am in my late 20s and wish to establish this milestone as a New Year Resolution.

I have seen a video of someone similar who started as a beginner and in two years, was able to get a rating of 2000.

What books should I read?
What games should I analyse?
What openings should I make my repertoire?

What teams should I join?

I am ready to practise 2 hours daily.

Waiting for an early reply.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,
supergminthemaking.

Try to have a good understanding and idea behind your openings. Play a handful of opening at this stage and master them. Make sure you analyze your games and learn from your mistakes.

"Grandmaster" excuisitly requires OTB play, and there you don't start playing asking stuff like "how to become a Grandmaster?" or "how to become 2000?", but rather "how to become a 1300?" and then gradually raising the bar. And have in mind that a rating like 1300 FIDE is approximately equivalent to 1700 chess dot com, or 2000 LiChess.

At my first FIDE classical tournament when I was 10, I was 1300 chess.com but gained a FIDE rating of 1547. Why was this the case? I had not played chess very often back then and I was only familiar with basic principles and tactics in chess.

You joined this site in November and you have played less than 100 games.  Play another 500 games and you will make improvements. Most of the players here at 1500 or above have played over 1000 games (including places outside chess.com, like OTB tournaments and chess clubs and against other computers).

And there are chess coaches creating free videos on YouTube.  You don't need to pay a coach to learn some things from them.

Then your name must be Pinocchio, as FIDE ratings start from 1000, and getting at 1547 rating with one tournament requires 18 wins, no draws, no losses, with opponents rated 1350 and above.

What about provisional rating? I actually did get 1547 from one tournament. I have proof. If you want it, I can send it.
