Tygxc I think you can claim some titles from winning certain fide tournaments... I've def seen it before
is it late to get title in chess
I seen someone who became transgender and was awarded a wfm title. Was it worth the free diamond membership idk you would have to ask them
If you're willing to invest time and effort into studying openings, tactics, endgames and analyzing your games, you can make significant progress regardless of your age.
Sounds like wanna trade work, career for chess. 1. Are you rich? No? Probably a bad idea. 2. Your age isn't the problem, but economics and in general life are. I would say realistically you could do some local tournaments, join a club etc on your free time, but chess takes a enormous amount of time to become elite at otherwise everyone would trade careers for chess. I would think your average 1600 would need at minimum 1,000 hrs of study to make a jump to 2,000 fide, but could take 3,000 hrs of study, by study I obviously don't mean playing games of chess. Like we do here. Just my honest opinion as no one at chess.
I got to 2100-2200 with 1000-1300 hours but that was over two years I'm about 2000 fida ish(in potential ) for now yes most people will take 1000 ish hours to get to 1600 but some people if they are fast learners will get to 2000 in that amount of time depends on how you learn I heard it took some people ten years others less than two it really depends on how you learn how much you play
And how badly you want it(obsession )
So if you 1.willing to take the hpurs of grinding(which can be fun )
2.be relatively obsessed (not always an addiction )
3.either be creative or somewhat naturally talented (you don't have to be talented Tyler one is a good example ) you do need to know how to learn though if you don't know how to learn you prob aren't going to improve at chess (also when I mean learn I meant over all not just in chess)

Like you got to 2,000 from scratch, never played before that? Are you planning a GM run? I don't see Tyler1 going further than 2400 which is pretty incredible by most players opinion.
You can also compete in titled Tuesday so joke title is worth it
