Hello guys👋🏻 I got to 1400 on chess.com recently by watching some YouTube videos. What do you think, what would be the realistic goal for me to achieve by the end of the year, if I study 2-3 hours a day? My ultimate goal is to get to 2000. That’s like my dream.
I reach 2000 in rapid in my other account. I wish you all the best

To reach 1500 there are many stages to go through:
1. Have a well-mastered opening repertoire, not just 3-4 moves.
2. to have well-mastered patterns of movement (puzzle);
3. to have a middle game plan and to have the end in mind
4. master the endings (not the basic ones).
5. to analyze each game played to see what you did wrong and what your weaknesses are.
6. to have a tailored mind for chess (ie to play from the age of 5-6)
7. to have exercise to play fast (I don't - I lose 48% of the games on time);
Otherwise, you will reach 1500 or even more but in time you will reach your current level.
Only one solution will keep you away from the goal: to play chess 2-3 hours a day without a bit of study!
About 2000 - it is an unattainable goal - it is only for professionals, who are totally dedicated to chess.

"watching some YouTube videos" ++ 1 book = 200 videos.
"what would be the realistic goal for me to achieve by the end of the year" ++ 2000

If you are young and talented, reaching 2000 is a reasonable goal. But don't take it for granted. In the beginning improvement comes quickly but once you passed a certain level of playing strength, improvement will be slow and require a tremendous amount of work. You don't know where your threshold is, until you reach it and notice for yourself.
