Destination 2300 ELO Series The big picture (Plan)

when you have figured out where you would like to be , the next step is to figure out how to get there  !! the target  is to go from 1797 to 2300 ELO  on or before 1/12/2018 , this really should not be about just gathering ELO points but to first of all become 2400+ strength !
