I am 17 and I am 1300, could I reach IM title one day?

I feel like I had to ask this question because I am questioning whether or not if I can be an elite player in the future, I am willing to put the time (in fact, I am so crazy that I am willing to put 30 years into it) and study and I do anaylze lost games and find out why I lost, after that, I started to get much better and I get winstreaks and barely losing streaks now, I did beat a 1500 bot (Antonio) 2 times before yesterday, is this still an unrealistic goal, just tell me the truth...

and no.... I don't study openings anymore, I study endgames now

Thanks....

Could you? Yes. You are still fairly young and with lots of possible life and time devoted to chess, you very well could improve a ton...and technically IM or any chess title is possible. Of course, it is statistically very low of a chance and a lot of these titled players already have titled by age 17 or their low 20s. 

This isn't to say you can't reach that level one day if you work on it enough, but most don't recognized just how extremely tough it is to reach the level of any chess title and an IM is of the toughest of those to get (GM being the only official chess title higher; although the informal "super-GM" or the title of "World Chess Champion" are of course even tougher, but both of those likely require the GM-title anyway).

How long have you played chess for? Everyone starts somewhere.

 technically 2 years and 2 months according to chess.com but I did quit chess for a long time so maybe about 1 year and a few months, I started at 15

Okay, 1300 for 2 years is about right for a lot of people. It is always tough to determine what rating someone might be capable of, but at this pace it might take another 10 years of constant chess study to become a titled chess player (this isn't a rule; just a generalization and this estimate might also be far off too) and most people don't study chess this dedicated for so many years. You could certainly become a strong chess player and increase your rating over time though It is just that any chess title is very difficult to get and although 1300 is already slightly higher than the global average (according the live chess percentiles on chess.com), this isn't putting you into the realm of a chess prodigy.

You never know what the future holds though. I say take chess as far as you like and enjoy the journey!

No one knows the answer to your question. And in a way, it's the wrong question! Do you really love chess? If you don't, then your chances of becoming an elite player are very slim. Can you endure losing? If you can't, then your chances of becoming an elite player are very slim. Do you enjoy sitting by yourself studying chess? If you don't, your chances of becoming an elite player are very slim

basically you can't

Well "basically" the chance of a chess title regardless of age is pretty low. I don't think age is the number one defining factor; is a factor, but I don't think they should be discouraged from playing chess and enjoying the game just because of their age.

For context on how tough a chess title is to get, all GMs and IMs COMBINED make up less than half of 1% of all chess players. Similarly, there are more billionaires in the world than chess Grandmasters (GMs). I guess it just depends on where your priorities are at (as a whole chess doesn't pay well; this is why even established GMs typically need to supplement their income by writing chess books, selling courses, or offering chess coaching).

A chess title is possible and being 17 is young enough they have a lot of potential time to work on chess if their life allows for it, but it won't be an easy journey at all and many who have dreams of being a titled player have a "head start" in that they may have begun playing competitive chess at a much younger age.

I'm gonna be brutally honest with you and say no, that is extremely unlikely.

It's easy to think that IM's are "only" IM's with all of these GM's and super GM's around, but reaching IM status is EXTREMELY difficult and I bet that you would have to search long and hard to find any IM's who were rated 1300 when they were 17. Basically, to reach the heights of IM's you almost HAVE to start at a really early age. It is almost impossible to make up for a lack of early development in chess.

I'd say that a 2000-2200 FIDE rating is a tough but realistic goal if you put in lots of work. 2400 is not.

I think you could if you want it bad enough at that age. considering you are 1300 now & still young

Reaching IM is doable - but only if you receive professional coaching, which can get expensive very fast.

If you want to try to reach IM on your own? Your odds are very slim. A more reasonable goal, if you're planning to do it on your own, is NM (USCF) or CM (FIDE). That's around 2200 Elo.

Still difficult to reach. But doable, with enough study and persistence.

Yes u can
