Hi. I have played chess in tournaments in real life and also took some chess lessons from a real life club. And also from internet chess prigrams. I played many games online too and solve puzzles and know theory, but still my online rating is 1200 - 1400, depending on the time controls. I am very concerned that 1400- rated players are so tough for me and play very good, like masters and beat me most of the time. My questuon is can i still become a master with online rating of 1200 - 1400, knowing that online chess elo is not official? Or i am pretty much done and hopeless to become better? Let me know what your opinion is.
Without actually getting better, that rating isn't enough to get to close to being a master OTB.
