How hard to get 2000+?

Hi! My dream rating is 2000! How hard is to get 2000?
easy. Just do puzzles and play regularly. Learn some openings with white and blacks when you reach 1800. If you do that, you'll reach 2000 in no time.

@Knight04 getting to 2300 is not easy I took me almost a year to get to 2300
getting to 2300 means
good positional play
train your tactics
maintain your time

me getting to 2400 wasnt easy at all
because you will need to improve your skill further.
you will regularly play 2400-2500

I also play rapid
10+0
From your current rapid rating (1700) I think you can get 2000 in about 4-6 months, maybe even less.
a 2300 player is someone who:
-has a very good level in spotting tactics and how to use them to his advantage
- has a good strategical knowledge
-a decent level in calculation
-a good opening knowledge
- some endgame skills
- knows how to manage time effectively

It depends on your interest, aptitude, and dedication. Some people will probably never be able to reach 2000 in their lifetime no matter what they do. Others could probably reach it in a few months' time with some dedicated study. I think a rating goal several hundred points above your current level is probably not super helpful or realistic. Each rating point is harder to gain than the one below it; going from 1700 to 1800 does not require the same amount of effort as going from 1800 to 1900.
