Hello,

As the title suggests, my current rating is around 1700, and I want to reach 2000 by May of 2023. I was told that would be impossible by a lot of people, but I am quite a fast learner. If it is possible, whether it be hard or excruciating, what do I need to do to be able to reach 2000 ELO?

its not impossible just unrealistic, youre not going to be able to improve as fast as you did when you were 700/800/900. 

Anyways you should probably work on your positional play and studying specific motifs. It is pretty hard to self teach so i would recommend getting a coach too.

try road to positional advantage by herman grooten its a pretty good book to start with.

Ah ok, thank you so much!

I would hire a coach, however, I'm not in a financial situation in which that would be possible. Until I was 7-8 I had a coach in which I was around 800 ELO. If I was able to get from 800 ELO to 1700 ELO self-taught, do I need a coach from 1700 to 2000 ELO?

its not needed, but it makes it a lot easier

++ It takes about a year to reach 2000. Many fail even that.

"what do I need to do to be able to reach 2000 ELO?"
++ Play, preferably 15|10 and use all your time. Whenever you lose, analyse thoroughly.

It takes time to get to 2000. May be a year or so. But then it might be possible.
