Time to get 1500 rating

Avatar of tacticop

The title says it all... How much time or games it normally takes to get to 1500 online rating? 

Because If my last game were rated and the one I currently play, I would easily be 1500.

But... I saw a lot of people who are this rating and played at least 10 times the amount of games I played and I find it weird.

but it can be quicker if the person is young, got time and playing otb in club.

The more you play the quicker you'll improve.

Even faster if you combine that with study, such as reading chess books.

Wait... i'm talking about 1500 online rating on chess.com, not Elo or fide XD.

And I studied about 5 hours and played about 7-8 hours and trained tactics for... wait a second I'll see.

@ about 500-600 and it's all my experience at chess in all my life, I started chess when my friend Timome told me about this site. I never played in real life against friends or tournaments or whatever, here no one likes chess.

Maybe you're a genius? There are a lot of geniuses here! What's your I.Q.?

Avatar of kco

you can get to 1500 turn based easily, with little study (but it help) play at a reasonable nos of games at a time, say between 20-30 (as long you can manage it well) take your time to make your move with analysis and do your blunder check before you make your move.

I don't know xD. When I was 10 years old, it was 114 if I remember well.

Kco: 20-30 games in all or per periods of time ex: weeks or months ? 

Avatar of kco

In my case I use the 3 days/move it may last up to 3-4 months or more even less if the other players move faster, you'll see.

I'd be more concerned about the 537 blitz rating

why ? he would be better off to leave the blitz alone and focus on longer time control.

Looking at your games, you have a long way to go to get to 1500 rating. You played pretty well but your opponent blundered pretty badly. Im almost at a 1500 rating and its been a year since i ever started playing chess.
