I am 16 years old and my rating is somewhere around 1400. should I quit my studies and start practicing chess. I want to win master title in 18 months. I also want to earn enough money by playing chess.please share your views on this idea.
it's a good idea but you have to study no? you are so young like me I am also want to become master.I am just a 12 years old.can I become a master.please advice me some things to become a good player in chess.can I go to some small small tournaments with this small amount of rating.my rating is around 1500 in btliz.can I?
first are you at school or at university? school is something that its important to finish, if something goes wrong at least you can say that you finish school, and well you can quit if you feel that chess is the only thing that likes you on life, you said that you want to be master on 18 months, I assume its fide master or 2300 ELO, you currently have 1383 and it took you a year to go from 800 to 1300 according to your stats, and you want to improve 1000 points in a year and a half? still I cant say that you cant do it, and if you really want it you should try it
I totally agree with Deidre, you must 100% concentrate on your education & exams, which are proof that you have a wide range of abilities.
If you don't, you'll miss out on your career/ profession because someone else had good grades on their curriculum vitae/ job application (even if you're better than them!).
Prioritize, get a roof over your head, your own place, then you can follow any of your goals/ dreams become reality.
Know what you want, a trade, plumber/ electrician, carpenter, whatever, get trained/ skilled qualified first. 
Get what you need first & then anything you want later.
