How long does it take to "get good"?

The harder you work at something, usually the better you get

I went from about 900 rating to 1800 blitz in about 10 months
I believe you can improve a lot by trying to understand the true nature of the game. For example, by understanding that chess is not a game of tricks. Another important thing to learn: you can only move once per turn. So, if you waste time and your opponent keeps making usuful moves, you will get behind in the race towards the victory.
