What is master level?
You forget an important thing: Play alot of strong tournaments (regular time control)
I think he means FIDE master, and to answer your question for me it's a complete mastery of practical endgames and theoretical rook endings and pawn endings. That involves:
-Reading through Shereshevsky's Endgame Strategy again and How to Play Chess Endgames a few times.
-Reading through Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual, Survival Guide to Rook Endings, Secrets of Pawn Endings, Smyslov's Endgame Virtuoso, and the appropriate CCE and ECE volumes a few times ensuring I reinforce anything I may have missed. Or repeat certain positions a few times like I did when going through Basic Chess Endings (even Benko's revised edition has some errors but is overall good.)
When will I be a master player ?
The clear answer is: never.
Games need to feel like games to me, studying games feels too much like work. I just play to have fun.
@ viktor, what will you do with tournament without skill and knowledge?
will you learn by mistake in tournament - then repair, mistake -repair, mistake-repair?
one day you will discover that you are too old to play and old mistakes will be redone again.
Never. And 2000 opening lines isn't too much for the human's memory? Even for grandmasters?

without input output is zero. First eat, then fight.

I've already learned that in the middlegame one should compose a plan in critical positions and the positional imbalances.

I loose all the times yet I find it always funny, for some people like me chess is just a time pass not something that a defeat in it will disheart me. I always admire my opponent whenever I am outplayed , the same way I feel pretty cool when I outplay my opponent.
On a side not I personally feel that it is the middle game which determines who is going to win or loose.
