How long does it normally take to reach 1000, 1500, 1700, 2000 (etc)
Sort:
Cuz if you're like me and you never play otb and then suddenly start again well I could get 1500 in a matter of a few tourneys and then there's people like my friend @dashinghuman I taught him chess in 4th grade and by then end of 5th he was like 1400 and I didn't even stand a chance against him some people are just good at chess

At this point, tactics should be your priority. Study the games of the great players from the romantic era, and above all solve a lot (yes, a lot) of puzzles. Also, playing OTB is iireplaceable, especially against opponents that are somewhat better than you, who can give you feedback on your game. Longer time controls are necessary to hone your analytical skills.
Setting goals for yourself is healthy, buy I would advise you not to get crazy about ratings. They will follow your progress sooner than later, especially since fluctuations are huge at your level. You can easily lose 40 points one tournament and win 50 the next one. Don´t think too much about it, put your sight on the long run, and keep on training.

i dont think you even get a fide rating if you are not 1000 fide performance
Play the best you can, never move until you've checked every position of every piece on both sides everytime.
I played Bobby Fischer in 1975 after he became world champion, I made sure I did that before each and every move I made..
I am 1800 uscf
it took a lot of hard work to get there
but i finally got there two weeks ago

As long as it takes, and sometime never. Study, read, practice - do the best that you can. Enjoy the result, whatever it is.
around 1500 games before you reach 1000. Around 5000 games before you reach 1500.

About 2 days to go from 200 to 2000 according to what I read on this site.
I reached a rating of 1000 at around 4-6 months.
I played more like a 1200 though.
I reached 1300 in 9 months (A few days ago) and I play like a 1400-1500.
I’m usually far better than my rating because I grind the Chess.com bots. I don’t have a 3.5:1 W/L ratio because I’m a bad cheater, I’m just a bit ahead on my skill level.
Also I don’t do lessons much and never paid a single penny for anything Chess related (except my chessboard.) 💀
Also I grind puzzles like a madman if I can. Peak puzzles was like 2400.
