"I learned chess all on my own when I was 5" ++ Great
"played mostly with the computer" ++ OK
"never took chess coaching" ++ Not needed
"a singular chess book" ++ An endgame book?
"lessons on YouTube" ++ Not useful
"learning from my mistakes through analysis" ++ Very important
"I'm aspiring to get at most to 2300 FIDE" ++ You are rated 1624. If you can sustain progress of +100/year, then you can reach 2300 in 7 years of hard and smart work.
"it's well too late to even dream of becoming a grandmaster" ++ Yes.
"Is it a feasible goal?" ++ It is possible, but unlikely.
I'm currently 19 years old as of making this thread. I learned chess all on my own when I was 5, played mostly with the computer since no one else knew of the game. I never took it seriously and was understandably stayed at the novice level for all my childhood until last year when I decided to join my first OTB FIDE-sanctioned tournament. I performed rather unwell, losing to all of my rated opponents (around 1200-1400) while winning against fellow unrated ones (final score of 3/6). Fast forward to a few days ago, my results somewhat improved, my final score against rated opponents (around 1600-1900) is 3.5/5 with a final score of 4.5/6 counting the lone win against an unrated player and a final performance rating of 1790.
I currently still do not have a chess rating in standard and never took chess coaching or any of the sort, mostly relying on a singular chess book I bought, free lessons on YouTube, and learning from my mistakes through analysis. I'm aspiring to get at most to 2300 FIDE since I know it's well too late to even dream of becoming a grandmaster. What are your thoughts? Is it a feasible goal?
