Botvinnik was 12 when he learned to play chess, and went on to become world champion.
The question is, what are you going to do to get to master level. Will you join a chess club? Will you get a coach? If you do nothing except playing speed chess on the internet, that's not gonna do it.
Hi everyone
Look, a rating of 2200 is pretty high, and you'll need to study a lot. But if you're committed, and give at least an hour every day to study chess, I think it's definitely possible
probably. Statistically, 5% of OTB chess players reach expert (2000) and 1% reaches master (2200). you have reached 1900 elo in long time controls on chess.com in about two years, which shows that you have put in effort and know how to improve your skills. I also searched for players rated 2200-2299 in the FIDE database with b-years from 2001-2008, so similarly aged to you, most of their rating charts show that they started playing FIDE OTB standard with around 1400-1800 standard rating, and that they all reached 2200+ in 2-5 years. (the guy who was 1800 was the one who reached it in 2 years). so if you start at 1600 and have the same amount of dedication and talent as these people, I'd say you have a good chance
then again I am not a master (not even close)
I was born 2009

thats beside the point. it shows that teenagers in your age area can do it with about your experience in 2-4 years with effort

So uhh I turned 14 2 weeks ago, have been playing chess for 2 years and want to get 2200 FIDE (CM) before I die. I do not know what my actual FIDE rating is now, as I am far better at classical than speedchess, but I would make a guess at 1600 (Im 1900 online but that doesnt matter here). I study chess a lot. I want to become a CM because I want to become a doctor so will not have enough time to get, say, FM. Also 1 year of my chess journey was spent nit improving and being around 1100. So can I get CM before I die?
Yes
