Is 1769 good? I am trying to get to 2200 before 2025 ends.

i have been stuck in the 1900-2000 range for about a year now and i am also 11, so just saying gaining 500 points in one year at this level needs some real commitment such as homeschooling

BRO HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW IM 12 AND ONLY 1300 USCF

Depends on what you mean by later... I'd say any time after around 16 years old and it's virtually impossible to break IM, and extremely, extremely difficult to make FM. You're best to start by 12 if you want to have a legitimate shot at it

Looking at all of these kids that are younger than me and a several hundreds of elo points higher than me makes me depressed
