I am going to obtain the NM tittle by the end of 2016 after losing nearly 200 rating point in the past 4 months.  I was searching for my stlye, my energy, my getty up.  Now I believe I have found my light saber and I am ready.

Plan: study endgames feb-March

Study Openings Apr- May,

Test Openings in Tournament Jun-July (World Open?)

Revise Opening as needed. Jun-Sept

Fill in endgame holes July-Sept

Study classic games and re-read my system, attack and defense and other classic strong books.

Sept come off my 1800 floor and achieve a otb rating of 1850,

Oct move to 1911while studying complete game

Nov. move back to expert

Dec 31 at North American open win U21/U22 to reach 2200 (or very close) if not Jan 11 tim Just winter open make Master.
