Is it possible to get to 2000 from 1500 in just a year or less?
Sort:
If it is possible, can someone kindly schedule or type out a training plan in order to achieve a rating that high? This is only for blitz though. I understand people encourage playing longer games, but i only want to get into blitz for personal reasons that i do not want to disclose. Thank you

Age is a big factor. Those who recommended long time controls recommend it because it allows deeper understanding so your blitz will improve as a result. That said, I wouldn't know as I'm barely 1500.
Yes. Training Schedule: Daily 7am: Breakfast - 2 raw eggs & glass of orange juice. Now fast until dinner 7:30am: 5 tactics 8:00am: cold shower 8:30am: gentle walk on treadmill while watching Kingscrusher YouTube video. Rest 1800: Dinner - one can of dog meat straight out the tin (Kasparov swore by this secret diet) 1900: Long time control game of 5 mins per side 2000: 10 press ups 10 push ups 2030: Read chapter of My System 21:00: Bed.

What sort of weird dreams would you have after reading My System just before bed?
Dreams filled with Farmers losing piglets to horrendous diseases and crying over the empty sacks of corn.
@Denni-Mari Bonjour belle.

I don't understand, so giving up is a talent?
Or grow breasts. Rudolf and Botez have made a successful career from chess. Only ugly people need to work hard at chess. Look at Magnus for example. That hairless chimp wasn't winning any modelling contracts with only the IM title.

My Golden Retriever eats 4 cans of this every day, he should probably be a world class GM right

Are you saying Carlsen would have earned more contracts had he grown a pair of boobs?

Yes. An expert can get from 1500 to 2000 on chess.com in less than a month

You can! But you have to dedicate a lot of time, use it in the right way, and possibly hire a good coach

Since i got to 1500 by scatch in 1 year, i thought i would be possible to get to 2000 without much hardwork. I was wrong. Its getting very hard for me to push further now. Ive been taking some steps to improve such as reading books or playing some long games. However, it is still very hard without proper guidance from experienced players. Thank you for the great insight guys.
Eat the dog food.

Suit yourself. Good luck improving without it. In the 2000 September edition of New in chess Kasparov said when asked about dried dog food, - "Sure I've used it during games. It's OK for a quick energy boost but for prolonged chess improvement, there can be no substitute for a tin of dog meat".
