Is it THAT hard to get to 2000 elo?

If hitting 2000 is really ‘not that hard,’ then how come the majority of chess players can’t even cross 1200, thousands grind for years stuck at 1500–1700, and even content creators celebrate when they finally reach 2000—doesn’t that prove it actually is a tough milestone and not some casual rating anyone can just grab?

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

2000 is very good, it means you are an advanced player.

the vast majority of accounts on this site are probably bad bots to make people feel better about themselves. the level of play of 2000 blitz players here is beginner like.
