It depends where you start. If you start from when I made my chess.com account, then a few months. If you start from when I learned chess, then... 9 years
How long it took you to get to 1500 rating?

I did not fail to understand: you reached 1400 in 4 months, but your rating was stable over 1400 after 7 months. Did YOU understand?

It just asked how long it took you to reach 1500. Doesn’t say how long it took to stay above 1500.

Ok I get your points now. But in my opinion one should say he reached a rating of x only when his rating is stable around it... Else it isn't worth. One could have a few lucky games and reach a a rating much higher than his actual strength.

Yeah true
your question is not relevant anymore in chess.com cause there are some lucky new members who got their first ratings at 1600 and even 2000, ratings in chess.com recently are like wild animals living in the jungle

Eventually those who get a 2000 starting rating will drop to where they really belong.
@GGuessMyName for low rated players they can avoid it just by not playing one single game so that people when staring at their ratings they would be deceived easily and think that their ratings are real and for those who have strenght 1400-1600 they can choose to play against lower rated players to win them so that their 2000 ratings not only remain but increase slightly,see how biased ratings in chess.com now

It took me since I started this chess.com account until today. I got really into it and have been playing almost religiously since. If you go back to my first couple of games you can see how bad I was. I started taking lessons and fully immersing myself in the game. I’m a busy student, so not having time isn’t really an excuse. If you’re looking to improve, just keep playing, and keep trying to get better. I’m still far off from where I’d like to be, but the goal is just steady, gradual improvement.
Ha. This topic makes me smile. OP why are so fixed on that number? Does it make you unfulfilled without it? To be honest 1500 is crap.
I would just have fun with chess and learn from mistakes, worrying about rating is kinda pointless, as long as you are improving and learning, your rating should go up. Worry about having fun and becoming a better player first tho!

Not really, your just thinking in the sense of comparing it to gms, where in reality it’s the top 90% that’s pretty good. For me when I passed 1500 I was super excited and it’s a big achievement. Of course I would love to go way higher but one must make goals for themselves and feel accomplished when the reach a certain goal. For example if your rated 600 for two years a huge goal in one year would be to get to 1200. Although it may not be good compared to the top players or the intermediate players. 1200 is a respectable number especially when you look at how much that player improved to get to it.

it's not "top 90%", that would just mean that you aren't in the bottom 10%. Instead, it's top 10%.
One should always write things that make sense; if I see something that doesn't I'm gonna point it out.
Ah the irony
Nope, I made a valid point.
Nope....you failed to understand even when an explanation was provided.
