Will I become a titled player?


of course, there are IM with 1800 ELO chess
(I had played with one of those 1 time)
But there are also GM with 2500 Elo chess and there are CM with 2500 ELO chess as well, so, defently yes!!!



I find it quite amusing how many people who join an online chess site and acually bring themselves to believe you can get your online rating up high enough you will become a FM or an I.M or even a G.M sorry but online ratings are only designed as a basic guide to ones chess ability to earn any FIDE rated title you will have join the hard-core of chess, and that's a tough over the chess board world, been down that round when I was younger and it will test and at times make you feel like pulling you hair out as you spend every weekend up and down your chosen home country in old halls and YMCA's fighting for a few hundred pounds prize money in search of a FIDE Title?!!

Depends on the title. Do you have youth, endless funds, endless time and a good coach? You’ll have to play about a tournament once a month and at least 3-5 norm tournaments a year. Hopefully in 10-15 years you’ll have collected 3 norms and a high enough rating for an IM/GM, because taking time off work and playing week long norm tournaments as an adult with responsibilities gets harder and harder.
Non-norm titles are more realistic but still much harder than most realize.
