Let's assume 2000 is a decent level to reach. For the fastest kids, it will take about 3 to 5 years to reach that level. The youngest master (2200) is a 9 years old, but he started to learn chess at 5 or 6 years old. In chess, just like in other activities, there is nothing like quick success. All successes take years. If you want to be faster, you have to work harder. The total effort is about same.
Most kids may take 5 to 10 years to reach 2000, if they persist. The key here is persisting. Most actually quit chess or slow down to put in any effort in chess after they reach middle school. 95% will shift from chess to college application when they reach high school.
For adults, the time may take even longer, due to several reasons: more distractions, less time to play and study chess, and slower in learning new knowledge.
