Good afternoon y'all.
I'm a 20 years old medical student so i don't have an incredible amount of time. I started playing chess 1 year and a half ago and find myself in the 1700 rapid rating right now and in blitz i suppose i am around 1400. I play blitz in lichess and i'm rated 1800. When i first started to learn chess i put the goal of trying to be 2000 by the end of my degree (three years and half left to be a MD). I usually only play chess and don't study chess, only at holidays and i don't know exactly how to study (read books, see youtube videos?).
I don't think i'm any kind of prodigy in chess as my progression has been steady but definitely not fast.
Do you think (and i know that is only a prediction) that i will be able to reach 2000 by 2024 keeping my training and playing method? And what book should i read as an "intermediate" player?
Hope that someone can help me and perhaps lower my expectations as i think that it will be tough to get to 2000 without real study.
Thank you for your time!!
It's not possible for others to predict your development timeline.
You just joined here recently , so no one can see any historic progression in your rating but if you really started only 18 months ago, that would have required rapid progress.
