Do you think I can get 2000 rating?

I barely train (and I have never trained), I just play sporadically.
I would like to reach 2000 rating ( lichess rating obviously...), but not sure if I can do this without proper training (just playing 1 or 2 hours per day) I started playing almost two years ago.

Chess training is a capitalist deviation. It is useless and there's no method to improve really on chess. Many GMs or titled players try to sell you books, videos, and all kind of bullshit "to improve".

Play, enjoy and never forget this is a game after all.

I kinda reached 2000 without trying very hard. I would say it's possible, even likely, that you could reach 2000 @lamper_ph . A couple books could help, I could give you a suggestion if you wanted. I think though that you should play at time controls longer than 10 minutes more often...

Good Luck!
I have been playing chess since November of 15. My classical is 1997 here so I am close to 2000. I think its pretty easy if you put in the effort. Online 2000 doesn't mean a whole lot. Except you know a little bit more than just not blundering pieces every move.
To get from where you're at now to where you want to go I suggest become an endgame expert. Endgames should be studied before studying anything else.

You're already doing something right. You're playing chess here which has the best computer analysis in the world which can be used to study all three phases of the game. Of course it's only part of becoming a good endgame player. Strategy is also important.
You can do it. I've never really studied, except occasional tactics. All of my chess skill is from thousands of bullet games over the last few years, and I'm almost 2300 hyperbullet now.
#1 that depends on a few questions:
Can you achieve a >=1700 rating?
Can you achieve a >=1701 rating?
Can you achieve a >=1702 rating?
...
Can you achieve a >=1999 rating?

Very good point. Also I noticed whenever got over 2000 I would get kicked out there. I still have a lot of studying to do.
