How long does it normally take to reach 1000, 1500, 1700, 2000 (etc)

I have found this info but don't know how accurate it is.

My score with the Fried liver (otb) is actually pretty high, lol  Against the Sicilian (with 2...d6) i know a lot of theory, since ive had to prepare for games in tournaments. Against the 2...Nc6 Sicilian, i dont know that much theory.......should i just play a rossolimo so i dont have to bother with the main lines ?

Awesome ! Thanks  But Im not sure this describes me xD

1500-1700 (6-7 years of experience) Advanced intermediate player. Advanced tactical skills and thought process. Player has Intermediate endgame and positional skills at this stage. Intermediate positional evaluation and analysis skills. Should have a chess trainer, and play against strong opposition in order to improve as well as a strong focus on the endgame, positional and evaluation skills.

Alright  Thanks so much, @DaddyReza 

wow !

if u study in da right way it won't take u more than 5 years with average 1 hour practice per day. my iq is 90 and i got 1800 in 3 years, 2000 in 4 years, so if i can do it anyone with iq of 90 or higher should be able to do it in less than 5

Indeed. Dedication above all. And help. Be it trainers, support from family & friends; but mostly from luck-taking advantage of opportune moments.

alright, thanks everyone  From what i understand, if i study correctly and put a lot of time and effort into it, i should be able to achieve 1700+ by the end of next year ?

Apparently took Josh Waitzkin about 4 years to become a class A player, and he had great coaching, very talented, etc

Depends ...

Cuz if you're like me and you never play otb and then suddenly start again well I could get 1500 in a matter of a few tourneys and then there's people like my friend @dashinghuman I taught him chess in 4th grade and by then end of 5th he was like 1400 and I didn't even stand a chance against him some people are just good at chess 

At this point, tactics should be your priority. Study the games of the great players from the romantic era, and above all solve a lot (yes, a lot) of puzzles. Also, playing OTB is iireplaceable, especially against opponents that are somewhat better than you, who can give you feedback on your game. Longer time controls are necessary to hone your analytical skills.

Setting goals for yourself is healthy, buy I would advise you not to get crazy about ratings. They will follow your progress sooner than later, especially since fluctuations are huge at your level. You can easily lose 40 points one tournament and win 50 the next one.  Don´t think too much about it, put your sight on the long run, and keep on training.

Alright, thanks

i dont think you even get a fide rating if you are not 1000 fide performance

nobody has a fide rating under 1000

Play the best you can, never move until you've checked every position of every piece on both sides everytime.

I played Bobby Fischer in 1975 after he became world champion, I made sure I did that before each and every move I made..

 I am 1800 uscf

it took a lot of hard work to get there

but i finally got there two weeks ago
