My rate drop to 1219 from 1431 after resigning 60+ games 
, now only 64 games are on going.
I have checked and ensure the resign will not make the impact on who will be the 1st place ~ 3rd place, so I have to stay at some tournament (35 games ongoing)
I think I will climb back to 1350 in one month, now I have 70% chance to win the players with rate less 1350, and I am a trouble maker of 1351-1600 players, in the game.
An ambitious plan that should drastically improve your rating. Its unfortunate about your rating drop due to the resignations, I was going to suggest you offer to draw many of the games.
Good luck.
I can easily see how you can get involved in too many games. Good luck in your training. Chess is fun and a big challenge, but remember what many high rated players seem to forget...it's only a game.
that is OK, I do not care the rate as the beginner, and hope I do not care it too much in future, too.
thanks for your advise.

agree, the higher rate players will become very careful, and refuse to take the risk to play with lower rate players.
Below is my target, it is part of my profile, too.
Start learning chess in Sep 2008, hope I could become the 1800-2000 rate player in 2009, and 2000-2200 in 2010 in this website.
this journal will be updated each quarter (or month if need) to show my footprints of growing, and another useful function is proving I am not cheater, in case I reach 2000+ and somebody doubt me in future - it is too bad to be banned from chess.com, as a lifetime diamond member.

Mid of Sep 08 - Jan 2,2009
my rate now (Jan 2,2009) is 1431, after playing 337 games without any reading and training, it seems a good start, 95% or more of them start with E4
But I need to handle 115 games at the same time now (peak time is 166), it take me too much time even I make one move in one mintues, it take me 2 hours each night, so boring, I made this mistake to open too much game,some opponents already complained my slow response.
so I will resign most of current 85 tournament games, if its move is less than 20, regardless I have materials or winning position or not, sorry for the players at those tournament, I will disturb the fair play of those tournament - very sorry again.
I will not resign from any team match, for I attend thoese matches means I will fight for that team, even I will loss by checkmate finally, the promise is promise.
( I will say sorry at chat tab and let them go to this threat to see the text at blue color, and it will be removed later,hope this forum is public to let them see)

After close lots games, my rate will drop to 1200 or less, it is OK, my target is 1600-1699, after completing the following in Q1, 2009
- Read a 300 pages of book for beginner, it cover everything (openning, midgame and endgame ...) but basic knowledge only.
The book is in Chinese, generally Chinese is shorter than English for the same statement, eg.
English: How are you? you play chess very good.
Chinese: 你好吗? 你下棋不错
so that books should be 400+ page in English.
