how much work to reaching 2000 in 6 month

My blitz rating is 1150-1200 right now and i have been playing chess for little bit less than 3 month. how much work is gonna needed to reach 2000 in 6 month or is it possible 

More or less the fastest possible is beginner to 2000 in 2 years. I've seen a few do it a little faster... as in 1.75 years or something. Even people like Kasparov took ~2 years (although 2000 FIDE is more impressive than 2000 chess.com).

You're not a beginner, but 1200 blitz is still far away from 2000. Two years would still be an ambitious goal. 6 months is just silly.

Just for fun I looked at a few members who covered that same ground, and just ballparking I'd put the amount of time they spent on chess.com (games, puzzles, etc) at about 2000 hours... and 2000 hours in 6 months works out to be about 11 hours a day, every day... and since marathon studying is always less efficient, you'd probably want to be safe and go for the full 16 hours a day.

what about rapid im at like 1300-1350

I'm not so familiar with Rapid ratings ever since they moved 10 minute to that time control.

My general impression is all the live time controls are pretty close these days though. I'm not sure it would definitely be easier for one than the other.

A sh*t tone of work. Better get started now.

I didn't think it was possible for people to go from 1200 to 2000 in a single year, although I got proven wrong by a few members on this forum.

Still, I think 6 months is unrealistic. And 1 year is only possible if you work incredibly hard and have some natural talent for the game.

For me personally: it took me 2 years just to go from 1700 to 2000.

i study and play like 4,5 hours a day not sure thats enough

And for me, I pretty consistently gained ~100 points a year every year. So it took me, I don't know, 10 years or something lol.

And yes, even in the beginning I was that slow. So like... 3 years to 1300 lol

It depends on your IQ, haha. I don't believe people can get to 2000 without having a pretty high IQ in the first place. That kind of rating requires a lot of calculation and cunning , not to mention memorising hundreds of lines. On Blitz, you'll also benefit from playing very fast.

Naa, they've studied chess vs IQ, that's not how it works. Chess is like anything else... the biggest predictor for success is how much time and effort you put into it. Sure not anyone can be a GM, but the great majority can be 2000... not in 6 months lol, but eventually.

For me, it went about like this

Beginner to 1000: 1.5 years (probably a bit slow)

1000 to 1500: Another 1.33 years

1500 to 1750: Another 1 year

1750 to 2000: About another 5 months (Quite a bit fast to make this jump)

So overall it took me about 4 years 3 months to reach 2000+ USCF. That involves hundred probably thousands of hours. The reason I jumped from 1750 to 2000 so fast, is because I spent those 5 months studying 6+ hours every single day. Reading books, playing long games, analyzing them, Filling out entire notebooks with analysis and notes. 

llama47, I'd bet a large sum of money that there are MANY people out there who could never reach 2000, regardless of the number of years. it's a logical game- you need a highly logical mind to even reach 1600, let alone 2000. and for blitz you also need a fast mind- so it helps to be young.

Personality is probably prohibitive in the sense that someone who doesn't enjoy puzzle solving (for example) will never bother spending enough time with chess to get good... and if they were forced to get good at chess, they'd quit as soon as they could... like Sofia Polgar, who was called the most talented by her sisters, quit before she got the GM title and is a painter or something.

So for that reason, sure, I'd say most people can't reach 2000.

But if you really like chess to begin with, then all it takes is systematic work over a long period of time (in other words organized work, not watching random youtube videos, playing speed games, and doing opening prep on chessable).

And yes, starting young is very important

I'm not saying any 50 year old beginner can be 2000. Probably close to none of them can if we're talking about 2000 FIDE.

i'm at freshman highschool rn 

llama47, people who really like chess probably like it because they're good at it. they're good at because they're intelligent and logical. there's a reason children aren't usually grandmasters. they're less intelligent. the same goes for older players, as their intelligence and speed of thought lessens. absolutely, studying is important and vital to reach 2000 (I've never reached that level I'll add). but without a high IQ, I still don't think a player could get that high. imagine a person who's really not good at maths, problem solving and puzzles. You spend years drilling thousands of openings and lines into their mind- but even then, when you reach the middle game and end game they'd be required to make complex calculations- and look at possible moves in the future which are not in the book. Add time pressure to the equation (I think this post mentioned Blitz) , and sorry, no way. no way could the majority of people reach 2000 in Blitz. More like the top 10%. but yes, plenty of hard work and INTELLIGENT study is required. reading the books will do nothing unless you truly understand

I have about a dozen friends in my friend list who learned chess in recently and actually reached 2000+ rating within a few weeks/ months.

Unfortunately,  chess.com banned them. Lol.
