How long did it take you to get an elo of 1000 in chess.

:P :river

You've only been on chess.com about 2 weeks, chess takes time to learn, so don't worry about it much. Everyone begins somewhere; maybe you can actually be really good, but just needs the right "spark" or two which will propel your rating

If you like reading, then this blog post on Chess Opening Principles I wrote years ago might help you: https://www.chess.com/blog/KeSetoKaiba/opening-principles-again 

If videos are more your thing, I also have a chess YouTube channel for helping others improve their chess https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKPXx9iOh1Q9WgwlvJVObYw (KeSetoKaiba)

i did not

Hello chess lovers. Please consider sending me a friend request. I love to connect with more and more chess lovers across the globe. It helps me to better understand this game. 

I got there from 600 in about 1 month, but I played about 200-250 games in that time period, and I started actually learning from yt videos instead of just playing.(I really wanted to beat my friend so I had a lot of motivation)

@Dimltar when you first make your account it gives you a choice to select your skill level which is your starting elo, ex. 'Beginner', 'Intermediate', 'Advanced' last time i checked

For me, the more I play and am exposed to different playstyles, I feel like I get better.

One year, from learning the rules and how pieces move to 1000 rated player , if u r a fast learner and naturally good at chess otherwise it may take longer , may be two years 

I am very chess for the chess game, chess.com is not that chessy because it has no chess and it is very racist towards the black people

 took me maybe 7 months

from 200 to 950 took me 3 months around 500 games played

It took me 3 months to get from 700 elo (The level I was after a few games) To 1000 elo. I played chess and studied my games but didn't go crazy and practice 5 hours a day. At 1000 elo, you can expect a good match but there aren't any prodigies which keeps it fun. I jumped about 100 elo in 2-3 weeks recently and getting better at drawing losing games helped. A lot of my draws were losing, and some of my wins were drawing. Getting better at finding clever ways to not lose is key.

Hey, what's the avg elo

I'm aiming for 12 months. If I get some progress, but don't make a 1000 in 12months I'll give it another 12 months. If I haven't improved hardly at all in 2 years, I'll likely just accept that that level of chess is something beyond me and reduce the amount of effort I put into development; though I'd still play for fun.

1 day, im born to be good

Perhaps I could help with that by pointing out some of your flaws and how you can overcome them. You up for a game?

Sure. But I won't be able to play for another few hours.

Try watching the GingerGM on YouTube. His Longer Games series should be helpful to most people. If you watch one per day you'll be a better player in 3 months.

Do you really think watching a YT translates into improved play? I watch plenty of YT, but I'm not sure it leads to better play. But I like the Ginger GM so I'll check the series out anyway

I tried sending you a challenge, but it said you weren't accepting any.
