It depends 2000 rapid is possible but I honeslty don't remember what it took to get there but blitz 1800-2100 blitz is a difference in positional play and not so much just pure tactics

Maybe you will hit 2000 at around the month of August given that you improve at the same rate as you did from your past games assuming that this is not your alternative account...

August sounds great, thank you for the motivation mate.
Btw, you really think I am rich enough to buy diamond membership on an alt? Haha. Not to mention I am a family man I have no time to grind alts. This has always been my only account and I also have one by the same ID on Lichess so you can also follow my progress there too happy

On a 7 game win streak rn. Honestly cannot believe how quickly I am climbing elo without any formal coaching, I have been playing 2200+ bots in between to make sure I lose and not get overconfident. I never knew Chess was a hidden talent of mine, if I did I wouldn't wait until I was 29 to start playing lol.
Can I make it +1000 elo in 3 months or will I find my ceiling pretty soon? Stay tuned to find out

The bots aren't the same as actual 2000s though you might as well just play stockfish at that point

Do you mean they are stronger or weaker than actual 2000s? I can beat 2000 rated bots atm consistently, but the master ones above 2200 seem like another league. In one of the games I went a full piece up and still lost even though I took my time and tried to play the safest exchange chess possible haha, that was humbling to say the least.

I think you can reasonably get to 2000 by the end of the summer; if not, you should get to 2000 by the end of 2025. I think it may be a bit difficult to get to 2000 by the end of June, but it certainly is possible (especially if you are underrated). Good luck, and enjoy the Road to 2000 (I am currently on the Road to 1600)

Thanks and good luck to you as well my friend. Don't think I am underrated lol most players at 1700+ level have years of experience under their belt. I expect the road to be way harder going ahead.

600* point increase in the last 90 days wink
Haha but yeah I am terrible with low time and I almost always flag in winning positions in blitz. Perhaps because I am relatively new to chess I dont have that intuition or muscle memory etc yet. I have to think and calculate and recheck almost every move.
