After a year of playing bullet 8 hours a day, or after a year of reading books from bad authors 8 hours a day, or after a year of studying good authors but 10 minutes per day, you will achieve a 1700 level.
After a year of well-studying of very good authors (i will name 3 of them, nimzovich, kotov and dvoretsky), 8 hours/day, after 4 or 5 tournaments (one week tournament) during this year, if you try hard and "keep have a character", if you study all aspects of the game - endgame opening tactics strategy, and study some world champions games, and if you're not "disturbed by other things in life", you could reach the top, let's say a level of an international master, or even better.
From beginner to International Master in one year. Anyone else agree that this is the most ignorant post of 2013?
yes
I am well over 3000. Only began learning this easy game a couple of hours ago.
