2000 should be doable in 1 year.
Being 47 years old might be a problem: you need the ability to learn.
2200 is probably out of reach.

If someone gained 800 points in 1 year, then gaining another 200 will be easy.
You post so much nonsense on these forums.
2000 is minimum of five years of hardwork.
Talented kids have done it in about 2 years.
I'm talking about FIDE, not online ratings... online ratings would be easier of course.
Of course more realistically an adult beginner will never be 2000... just based on how many actually do it.

You post nonsense.
The last 200 are much harder that the first 800.

That has nothing to do with anything either of us have said.
I assume you mean online rating? If so, perfectly achievable within 5 years.
I'm in my 30s, and started off in 2019 as a complete beginner, and bottomed out at 650 after a month of playing. I crossed 2000 rating (in both blitz and rapid) within 2.75 years of starting, although have plateaued somewhat over the past 6 months (am now 3.25 years in!). I did recently hit 2144 in rapid but that's an easier achievement than 2100 blitz in my opinion.
2200 in both is my current goal - but the next 200 points will probably take just as long as the last 800 points as someone commented above, as increases are exponentially harder, the higher you go.
I've been coaching beginners for the past year, I could certainly help you improve from at least 1200 to 1700-ish. Feel free to direct message me for info if interested. Lessons aside, one of the best things you can do is solving tactical puzzles, continuously (for as long as you can endure them!), it'll continue to sharpen your calculation skills, but more importantly, will expose you to more and more patterns. Pattern recognition is a large part of chess.
Between that and studying endgames, with an emphasis on rook endgames and king and pawn endgames - that'll see you through the transition from beginner to intermediate.
There's also a ton of free resources on youtube, I'd highly recommend two youtube channels, that of IM John Bartholomew and GM Daniel Naroditsky.
i am 16 teenage boy trying to reach 2000 ratings but i just gave up but you keep trying may be you will be able to do it good luck !!
After 15 days on chess.com I became 1200
I need to add a 1000 but want to do it the right way.
Please contact me if you know someone who would be best in doing so.
