I am 29 years old I just started playing chess, what level can I achieve ?

And we've already had this conversation.

The most important things are:

1) no one agrees with you and
2) you have a history of taking old quotes and making contentious assertions

That is ridiculous, and even a little cruel.

@20
Rating did not exist in the time of Lasker.
'two or three thousand chessplayers [who play on a par with a master]' translates to 2000 now

Master at the time of Lasker translates to Grandmaster now.

The core of his message is 'we achieve only a fraction of what we are capable of achieving'

'a quarter of a million chessplayers who annually spend no fewer than 200 hours on chess without making any progress'
means that spending time is not enough: you must spend it in the right way to make progress

@23
Carlsen was Grandmaster at age 13.

It's fascinating how a thread can be revived by a bot and everyone just picks up where the conversation ended 3 years ago. Normally, that would annoy me but I'm in a good mood. I just learned I can break 2000 rating in about year

Lasker said when you see a good quote look for a better one but don't let that stop you from extrapolating it to support your point. So I have to agree with Tegucigalpa or whoever.

Didn't work for the op though. But his might be a special case.  I remember Lasker mentioning special cases ...

It looks like the op's quest was abandoned at some point in the past three years, but in case anyone else is wondering, I offer my own experience. I'm nearing 50 (in a few weeks!) and only began studying chess less than a year ago. (I learned the rules much earlier in life, but never gave the game any serious study until 2021.) I've managed - so far - to increase my rapid rating to the mid-1300s. I estimate I might reach the 1500 range before I plateau.

One huge difference between learning at my age (versus studying as a child), besides the brain development thing, is the amount of time I can devote to it - not much, because as an adult I have other responsibilities, concerns, and obligations. I have to carefully carve out bits of each day for chess-playing, analysis, reading, and practice. And I can never get *fully* immersed in any of it because I must reserve at least some brainpower for real life.

  "I am 29 yrs old. I just started playing chess. What level can I achieve"?                                 If you live to be 30,...count your blessings. 

Thanks for the compliment! For some reason, I am not motivated by classical chess. (too long, etc). If only they awarded titles based on OTB rated blitz results, I'd love to join the party and start the journey towards mastery!

                          Its reasonable priced on thrifty books on line

++ There are over the board blitz and rapid World Championships and FIDE over the board blitz and rapid ratings.

Theoretically FM/ maybe if your a literal prodigy IM but yeah realistically? 2200 or around there, which is still easily 99.999%

This topic has the answer to the question asked in the starting post. After  3 years the author made almost no progress, so the answer is nobody knows what progress a random person can make, no matter what age is the person. I am 52 now, started a year ago, moved between 900 and 1480, at this time dropped to 1300, next week hopefully return to 1400.
