Yes I know a pretty bad start but this is what made me motivated to study more because I didn't just want to get thrashed around every Dallas Chess Club Tournament.

----------------------------
Yes, still around the same skill level and now just thinking that "Chess is just a hobby" and my dad told me "One day you will play in the championship room, maybe in high school.''
So I decided to make a study plan.
Monday-Friday
Tactics Trainer 1 hour a day
Study Openings
PLay 30 Minute online games
Yes, it seems simple and ineffective but watch how I progress.
Next Week...

See How I broke through in just 1 week. You know Why???
Well, My observations are that tactics trainer helped me the most because almost al u1600 games are decided my TACTICS!!!!
If you think, "oh that was just luck well take a look after 3 tournaments.
3 Tournament Later...

A pretty impressive point gain but do you know why????
BECAUSE MAJORITY OF U1600 GAMES ARE DECIDED BY TACTICS!!!!!!
But now i decide, lets make faster improvement!
Monday-FRiday
1.2 hours of tactics trainer
2. 1 hour of opening study
3. Competitive chess clubs (all 1700+)
4.Playing 10 30min games online.
may not look like an improvement but you'll see how each task makes a difference .

Feels pretty good to stomp on a 1300 and a 1200 after that hard work
Tip:PLaying with great players over and over again will get you used to that level and maybe you'll be able to adapt some Ideas to stomp on lower players than them.

Wholy Crap lol
I didn't know a stupid 1200 could crush the crap out of a 1500
and a 1600 :)
Here's the Robitaille game

See how tactics mean everything in theese type of games.
thats how amateur upsets happen by just studying tactics over and over.
The 1600 game went in the same route of tactics and me coming out crushing him.
So Now Im thinking, My study plan is working out pretty good so I keep it
