You aren’t gonna be able to do it in 1-2 years, especially not if you’re just “reading a chess book or two”
Stop wasting time on bullet, but whatever you do I would be very surprised if you got there in 10 years, 1900 national is worlds apart from NM

I would disagree. 1900 national is pretty close to NM, I believe you can close that gap within a year or two for sure if you put in the work.

What is this based on? I'm currently +1900 fide and my national is similar (id: 518271). And I would definitely be happy if I got to NM in the next 10 years, but I doubt it

++ It is possible see this rating progress chart: 1866 in March 2020, 2283 in August 2021.
"I currently am reading a chess book or two" ++ Chess books are no novels, do not read them, but study them, preferably with 2 chess sets: one for the main line and one for variations.

Many players are able to get to national master with 1900 FIDE, I personally know NMs with 1900 FIDE. Personally, I do not believe you are 1900+ FIDE. I myself am struggling to get past the 1800s. Your chess.com ratings also support such an assessment.

You need 2200 ucsf which is apparently around 2000 fida (I think )

What national rating are you in? Here 2000-2100 FIDE is basically NM

Currently my national is same as my fide at 1930. It seems they are generally the same for us, NM is very close to 2200 fide

Depends on the age.
If you're a 1900 adult, then sure, you'd be happy to do it in 10 years.
If you're a 1900 kid, then 1-2 years is a reasonable goal if they work hard.
True

Good to know any book tips or anything?
Hey guys I am currently 1900 USCF and am looking for ways to get to 2200 USCF (National Master) in 1-2 years max. I currently am reading a chess book or two but I still could appreciate suggestions on what books to read to get to 2200 and what courses I should buy. Any advice could really help! Thanks!
