Chess Training Schedule Needed

Hi,

I have got serious about getting into professional chess in future. I am 15 year old and plays alot better than most of the kids in my age group. I can give 4-5 hours daily for chess training. I just need a good training schedule so I can follow it and improve my game. Don't suggest any chess books as I don't read them. I am tech savvy so you can suggest any modern method. I have arena with stockfish installed for analysis. I have got chessbase viewer for reading cbv files. Please mind it that I am very serious about improving in chess. Thank you

Anyone?

I suppose if you have an aptitude for the game and are willing to spend a lot of time training you'll improve one way or another, but not reading any chess books will turn out to be a real minus, not plus in your training program. And no matter how "tech savvy" you are this will not make up for not reading a few chess books here and there that would probably teach you a lot, and much faster than having to figure everything out on your own.

At any rate, if you can add more free engines to Arena I suggest Firebird and Houdini 1.5.

Just out of idle curiosity do you read any books at all (not counting any that you have to read for school)?

Finally, I'm pretty sure you'll get more replies - over several days if not in the first 8 hrs after you posted your question.

I didn't said that reading any chess book will be a minus for improvement. I meant to say that this process on pc can be done faster than a book  It is also better for keeping stats and record of the progress. Yes, I have a hobby of reading books. Recently I have just read 2 complete novels of Sherlock Holmes case that is of 2,000 pages.

After alot of research I have decided that I will study games of master but the question is How should I do it? Should I just zap it over very fast like one game in 5 minutes or spend 30 mins per game with studying annotations and sideline variations?

30 minutes per game? You should be spending 30 minutes per interesting position within a game. You need to not be going over someone else's analysis. You need to be creating your own deep analysis of the game, and then comparing your conclussions with those of stronger players (or computer engines) and then when you conclussions don't match, dive in and find out why they don't match and come to an objective judgement about who is right. 

Chess is the art of analysis.

I can offer some help.  But I need for you to answer a question for me.  That question is:  What is chess?  Do you know the answer?  If you do post it here and I will post again.
