Everyone who reads this is going to hate you.  Does that answer your question?

I actually have no idea what the average learning curve is, but judging by the number of posts I've seen from folks complaining they've played X number of years and can't break 1000, I'd say you are doing very well.  

Thanks for your answer! Yes it does answer part of the question but still my really intrested in knowing if there exist some stats about average learning curve if anyone got the figures. I red somewhere that it requires roughly 10 years of practice to beat the 2000 mark, what about the other milestones (1000, 1200, 1400...) ?

I've been playing for 4 months, my rapid rating is 1100. I'd never studied chess before and have put some time watching lots of lessons, watching GM games and reading theory. I would say 1300 is a great achievement and a faster than normal learning curve from what I know. Well done! :)

Its pretty good for 3 months, but have in mind that 1300 rapid equals 1000-1100 blitz whitch equals 1100 fide rating. I think its about average chess player.

Great! Thanks for sharing. I also learnt a lot by watching videos, mostly about opening theory and also love to solve puzzles.

Really? I did some Googling about this before and according to the results showing in this survey : https://www.chess.com/article/view/chesscom-rating-comparisons , 1300 in Rapid is ~1150 Blitz and ~1400 FIDE.

its some google search, it might be true. But from mine experience. I played 1400 fide rated player OTB in my club and he is way better then 1100s in blitz,even maybe better then 1400s whitch i play here.

I honestly don't know, though I suspect that's an above average learning curve.

I've been playing for 6 months and am 1050 blitz (and have been higher). A friend of mine has been playing regularly for many years and is about 1150 and is quite surprised at how quickly I've improved. But my 12 year old nephew, who has been playing about a year, has a rating of 1400 and beats me comfortably.

It's like everything else I guess; how much do you practice? what's the quality of that practice like? There's probably a degree of natural talent involved too. And starting young probably helps a lot. 

I'm sure I recall a GM saying somewhere that those who started as adults can usually get to 1500-1600, but typically struggle to beat that without a lot of work.

Yeah, you need a lot of practice and some visualisation, memory,logic skills. Also, its true that many great players started as kids, but you can get above 1600 easy even if you started as adult. Player who has channel ,,hangingpawns'' started as adult and he has 1900+ fide.I played first time as kid, but when i started realy to play chess it was 7 months ago whith age of 23 and i have 1560 now. So everything is possible

Interesting. But then I suspect starting at 23 is different to, say, 53. 

I wonder if anyone who started post-30 has ever reached GM level?

There is no way 1150 blitz here compares to 1400 fide, that's rather the other way around mate.

I found an updated survey : https://chessgoals.com/rating-comparison/

The total number of respondents is pretty decent so I think that these comparisons should fit well to the reality.

Play another 3 months----》》Get 2600 rating---》》be a  Grandmaster in 6 months!!

You got it! Add in 3 other months and I'll be coming after Alpha Zero

One thing that occurs to me is how many more people may be devoting more time to their chess now most of us are (and have been) under lockdown. If used properly, that time might well facilitate rapid improvement.

Not a comment on the OP, btw; just thinking out loud.

Definitely. When I started Chess last february I was a bit frustrated that I couldn't dedicate as much time as I wanted to it due to daily constraints. Then Lockdown period kicked-in

You are saying like that!!

" I work hard for 10 years and I did not become a millionarie. He said he become a millionarie " I smell bs.

You learned how the pieces move three months ago? Looks like we have a GM in the making.
