Correct. You’ve got a valid point

I’m almost 13 yrs old and 1700 fide how’s my chances?

if you are motivated, everything will be fine. If you listen to those who tell you there is no chance, you will not succeed. work like a madman, you are already half way there! You have every chance, you have a lot of room for improvement, just don't rush. know that a title is obtained over time. you have to play a lot and be well supported for a long time. What I said earlier is valid for you too.

Chances do not matter here. What matters if effort and method.

Chanches will always be there for you, but you cant expect even you are young that this will be easy for you.
You are not only one who are skilled...you will face many players at youre own level, then it's 50/50 chance for you to win the game. Even harder for you to win if you cant progress proper. Chess is often a marginal game. There can be equal material balance but if example your king are to far away in the endgame you will lose the game. You can be edged out many, many times and then you will not gain so much ratingpoints. If you edging out youre opponent then you gain more ratingpoints.
You can be very good at tactis and so on but it doesnt help otb if you are too nervous and doing more mistakes than youre opponent, dondt have good enough stamina, and so on.
This can be the difference between to be a titled player or not hypotetically.
In fact its up to you for how good you can be, but you also need some good portion luck too in general to have sucsess.

There are not so many titled players in the world compared to total of players. Not everyone can be a tidled player. Only extraordinary players will be it. You have to be sort of gifted to be it. Even to cross 2000 rating are very difficult as an statepoint. a 2000 level player are expert in category...and even experts there are not very many of them.
Maby you consider yourself good player now...1700 are a respectabel level of rating, but you missing 300 points to 2000 level, thats a lot. First of all your'e goal for now would be 2000. If you somday cross 2000 then you aiming for 2200.
Hypotetically it can take you 3-4 years to cross 1800, and maby 1900 would be youre peak...you never know, and you cant taking nothing for granted. Good luck!
