How long does it take you to reach 2000?

For someone who gave up you still made a good amount of comments about it.

I am on my way to 2000 in rapid,I am 1700 currently

you would have to be handicaped mentally if you couldnt get to 2000 within a few months. literally all you have to do is learn tactic patterns, look for all your attacking moves, your checks, free pieces, skewers, and hanging pieces. that alone gets you to 1900

Says a 1500, which is a respectable rating, but you can't claim to know all about something you haven't experienced. It is in fact a lot more difficult than that, and can definitely not be learned by the average person in 1-3 months.

ive been up there (on chess.com) before, but currently i play on lichess where im 2050 rated. chess.com is a joke in rapid and blitz and is not a place for improvement. I would recommend switching to lichess as the games you can get there are much higher quality and better to learn from.

I have never gotten more mainline kings indian, mainline spanish, italian, and scotch openings. and i never get the london system, compare that to chess.com where the london system lingers even past 2000 and i never get an actual opening other than white playing fried liver, closed italian, 4.Nxc6 scotch, or the london/stonewall attack.

You are also aware that Lichess has a different rating system and 2050 on there is equivalent to about 1700 on here? I didn't mean to come across as saying you don't know anything about that level, nor that you can't play at that level. I was saying that it's much harder than people lay it out to be, sure you have to not blunder, spot tactics, calculate, etc. but those are all easy to say but extremely hard to do. Because of this, your comment about someone being handicapped if not being able to reach 2000 seems absurd to me, as well as rude and hypocritical since it seems you're not currently at that level. I'm also sad to say that I don't see how you could've been 2000, none of your ratings have been above 1600.

2050 rapid on lichess is like 1600 rapid on here. Stop obsessing over a number and just play the game.

id say the lichess inflation starts to balance out at 2000. Anywhere below that and the games just become jokes where they hang peices and play trap openings all day.

also the lichess community that is 2000+ are much more challening and are the first people that i was outplayed by.

the first time i encountered a 9.Ne1 mar del plata player i was utterly shocked. He knew exactly what he was doing and i was outplayed. Never have i seen a person with that much skill and understanding of the opening on chess.com. The lichess players that manage to break 2000 are much better than any of you. i typically encounter people who just play the london system or some slow system agianst Nf6 but its crazy the potential some people have if they didnt just tried to be cheesy and go for their little setup.

The London System is a legit opening played at the very highest levels. It is also a rich opening with many ideas and plans for both sides. Calling the London System cheesy just shows your own lack of understanding.

this is 70% of my london games, yes the london can be played sharply and with many ideas but you must admit that most of the London system community is going to play feeblely and use this system as a substitute to actually learning an opening.

You've legit never once played that line. In fact, you don't even have a single game as black against the London System proper in blitz or rapid. Only some Jobava Londons or other lines with an early Nc3.

So the question is, why lie? From reviewing your games, I can see a lack of basic positional understanding and poor tactical awareness. It doesn't matter your rating on Lichess, you would never be able to reach 2000 on this site, or even close for that matter, without a lot of improvement.

and i thought chess players were smart...

maybe go back and read past comments little man

"compare that to chess.com where the london system lingers even past 2000"

This is the only relevant quote where you claim that the London System lingers past 2000 on this site which is false on account of the fact that you've never sniffed 2000 and that you've never even played against a proper London System on this site.

this is not my first chess.com account

And? Out of hundreds of games the fact remains that you have never played against a London System proper on this account, why should that be any different on any other account? Even if you have played against the London on other accounts it is likely to be well under 1% of your games.

The other fact remains that you are not good enough to be 2000 based on your actual play. The first step to improving is to remove your ego. You are not a 2000 strength player on chess.com rapid and never will be by simply pretending that you are. You will actually have to put the work in to get better.

i dont play on chess.com seriously, but i can go over my lichess games.

many of the bullet games continue with Qc2 Bf5 Qc1 Cxd4. while in more rapid/classical games i have not reached that exact position yet

Ah yes, the classic excuse. "I wasn't playing seriously". You can continue to say what you want but a 2000 rated player not playing seriously is still a tier above you playing your best.
