getting to 2000k is pretty easy, actually

And if you think I didn't improve, look at my blitz stats (all time). I went from a 1300 to 1900-2000. (Look at bullet stats too)

And another thing, you must have played chess seriously somewhere else. I started out when I was a beginner and then I gradually improved. Your argument of "number of games" is silly as I can just create a new account, and hit 2000 in like 10 games.

New angriest Lichess forum thread just dropped! :D

25000 games? you kidding me?

You focus on the game count way too much. Pratice does matter but it's not the only factor and not the most important one either. Personal dispositions, time and effort a player is able and willing to dedicate to the study, those are way more important. Also, there is a difference between playing, say, 2000 blitz (or even bullet) games for fun without any review and playing 200 serious games with follow-up analysis and trying to learn from them.

You keep claiming that reaching 2000 (lichess rating) is easy and you even dehonest people who reached 2200. The reality is that only 7-8% of lichess players reached 2000 and only 2% reached 2200. (It's a bit more in blitz but still only 10.4% and 3.4%). And I can't help noticing that while it's been almost two days since you told us to check your profile "in a day or so", your rapid rating is still the same and your blitz rating is actually lower than it was then.
