Uncertain. It's not a pattern

I cant break 800, i'm a decent player on a good day, but i play distracted and tired alot. Idk maybe 6 mos casually.

Just like any skill, variation based on ability and effort is surely huge.

Decent play at 800? That's noobie level.

I've been playing casually for about 2 years (1-2 games at night), I was able to get to 1000 pretty quickly from what I remember, spent about a year getting to 1200 and another year getting to 1350 which is where I am currently.

update, have made it from 1350 - 1430 since march. not playing nearly as often any more.

update, made it to the 1490s. starting to feel like this is about as far as i can get playing 1-2 games a week, and not actually learning anything.

i cracked 1500, but am quite sure this is as far as i can get without devoting more time. i think what i enjoyed most about chess was improving, so without having more time i think this is about as far as i can take the hobby, and it might be time to move on to something else. it was reasonably fun!

This might be off because I think 13 year old improve faster than most adults.
