Is it THAT hard to get to 2000 elo?

I agree, reaching 2000 will always be an incredibly difficult milestone.

Idk, it's been a year since I played lol. It should be easier now.
2000 ELO Online is pretty easy if you're consistent, and most people only struggle because they are too busy or don't want to dedicate around 30 minutes every day to Chess. 2000 OTB is a whole different story.

2000 elo is all about dedication. You don't need to pull your hair out over long nights, you just need to play and study consistently a bit every day.

I think it's easy only if your play deserves a 2000 rating, in which case, yes, it's easy. Cramling did it in 8 1/2 hours.
i wish reaching 2000 elo was that easy
