How old were you when you started playing chess and how long did it take to get nm starting from when you started seriously practicing and playing?
- Played casually as a kid
- 13 years old ~1000, practicing more seriously, 1-3 hrs/day plus tournaments (1000 --> 1700 1 yr)
- Serious practice as a teenager: ~100 chess books, 1,000-2,000+ hrs puzzles, etc
- Adjustment to slow chess, NM at 18: How I Became a National Master
all of that just for NM? you should have done poker instead.

Can I make it to 2000 at the end of the year, if I am currently 1349 rapid and 1307 blitz. I have joined almost one month ago.
Generally, people don't make progress that quickly. If you are very young, play a lot, and are underrated, that might be possible or realistic.

#147, you joined one month ago. You did not start playing one month ago, please note the difference. Nobody starts rated 1244. It took Magnus years to even reach 1000.

Best YouTube channels for a person around my level (2k rapid)? Seems to be so much beginner content but not enough for advanced. Btw nice to see your doing this, rare to have advice forums like these on the forums.

I want to play with you, blitz. Just want to improve alittle bit, or rapid.
