How to improve my rating

Sort:

I recently began chess around a month ago. I play chess for around about 2 hours everyday 

and I feel like I am improving but my rating is stuck between the 200-300 bracket. How long should I take for me to reach a rating of 800-900?

++ If you start blunder checking before moving, you can get to 1500 within a month.
No study required, only mental discipline.

It also depends on the knowledge retention ability of a player. 3 months should be able to bring him to 500 (but I hope that can be achieved in a shorter time frame), but getting to 800 or 900 will probably require more than six months.

 

Also, the OP must be able to realise that a "peak" rating does not represent an average rating, so hitting a rating of 800 during a single game before returning to 700 afterwards does not make him "800 rated". In practice, the OP will experience a series of swings in rating values in almost every rating stage.

With lots of practice and playing/study, you can reach 1000+ chess.com rating with little more than the fundamentals. This is NOT to say it is easy and comes without work though. It might even take a few months for some people. 

What "fundamentals" then? Things like chess opening principles 

https://www.chess.com/blog/KeSetoKaiba/opening-principles-again out of the opening stage of the game; for the middlegame, you can practice lots of chess puzzles like the chess.com daily puzzle https://www.chess.com/daily-chess-puzzle and for the endgame stage you can learn the basic checkmates and theoretical endgames. These are endings like Queen + King vs King checkmate or how to use King Opposition to win a pawn endgame with extra material.
