I think I'm done with chess, this site has ruined my outlook on the game.

That's an obvious lie.

Even those who claim 2 months are a bit suspicious.

For reference, it took Magnus Carlsen more than 3 years.

magnus started as a young child you can look at my chess.com overview ignoring blitz bc I had some prior chess experience but from when I started playing seriously it took me from maybe October or November to january

You had previous chess experience, as you said. You can't just ignore that and pretend that it doesn't matter.

Count it in, and you'll have a more believable number.

Ah yes this is an interesting perspective.

I played age 7-9 with grandpa a few times maybe like 5-6 times total...

then with a dude at highschool about 2-4 times..

then online at the age of 29 I was 500-600 elo after about one month...

Then maybe a year until 1000.

So it's difficult to count the early age as a thing cuz it wasn't serious but we can call it a total of 2 years...

Well, yeah, you can just totally disregard 25+ years of experience like it's nothing. Why not?

No but a total of under 10 games scattered across years before the beginning of online is hard to count... but interesting perspective...

it really doesn't bc I played blitz which doesn't help for improvement and I only played about 100 games

In your opinion, how many games do I need to play to reach 500 rating?

Approx 2 months to break 1,000. About 6 months to break 1500. 2.5 years to break 2000. 4 years to pass 2300. (Rapid).

The opponents I face are always cheating and Chess.com only tracks about 10% of them. Maybe even less.

Off track… is getting 1000 rating in 4 months good for a 10 year old?

OTB chess is more fun and helps you improve more.

true, playing tournaments is so much more fun

I've played like 10 otb tournaments so abt 40 or 50 games or so and its only helped me not that much

what did you think it would help you with?

Nine months. If you don't count several long breaks from the game I've taken in the past, then it'd be about five or six months instead.
