How good is an elo of 950 - 1000 for a 14 year old?

 It has been 3 weeks since I started chess and I think I've accomplished a lot. Prior to making my chess account, I knew the basic rules and I played a bit with my grandfather, although it should be noted that I was 9. I am asking this question to determine whether or not I should pursue the title of master. Don't worry about being too blunt or critical, I just want an honest opinion. Thanks.

It depends on what you want.

To be a master, you will need to study lots, quit other hobbies, etc.

But it is doable.

Dont listen to igor.

He is a idiot and a stupid person.

Best you can do is that you study chess, play, analyze games and so on... Then you decide if you want to dedicate years of your life to chess improvement and be the best you can be. If the answer is yes - try it, why not.

Yeah. Don’t make any decisions now about what you want to do with your life. If you study and improve to maybe 2000, then you can decide.

Hey Mustafa!

For just starting out, your ELO is good! Everyone grows at different rates! I'm a rather slow grower, as I've been playing for a number of years now and have only reached 1700 on chess.com recently.

Growth is dependent on simply how much work you put into it. Becoming a master takes a bit of work, but it is doable! Just stick with the game, and you can do it!
