Good luck! ELO 2200~ but it’s been that way for several years now. This is because the National Master title is achieved at 2200 USCF and that was my goal- so now I just play for fun and to relax.
To be clear, the “20-30k” includes time spent watching chess, playing blitz and other variants, teaching etc. i.e. maybe like half of that was spent on serious study/analysis and playing in tournaments. Range is wide since I didn’t keep track ofc. Very large part of my life from 5-17 though
