Have you considered doing long-time-control online games?
I want to be a fide master

"If your strength is A, and your opponent's is B, and you are expected (for simplicity) to lose 100% of the time (or very close to it), then to reach strength B, you need to improve by 100% (double your current strength). ..." (~12 hours ago)

Would a 1500 player lose very close to 100% of the time against a 2700 player?

In order to even start toward your objective, you must be objective about your current skills. Given that you were getting blow off the board by (online) 1400s as recently as March of this year, it would be highly unusual to improve by over 500 points of strength in the span of 2 months. The first step towards your stated goal is to obtain an official OTB rating.
since i have memory i have never be 1400 i think
You already forgot your 2nd and 3rd games back from an almost 5 year break?

The newest FM in my club got the title after between 1000 and 1100 Longchess rated games otb. I think he has been active in chess more than 8 years. He is 15 years old, and have been taking GM-lessons. His father is a good cluplayer.

As far as I can tell, there is no generally accepted answer to this sort of question.

In my opinion you have decent power, but longchess otb is like the Formula 1 in chess. The quality of the games are a lot higher than in blitz. Anyway, your blitzrating tell me that you have talent. It will be fun to see how much you can win if you play many longchess tournaments otb.

I wasn't trying to advocate any particular book. I was attempting to give some indication of the variety of attitudes towards chess study. Still, I suppose that a book might be helpful.

Several hours a day, for 5 days a week, for several years.

All of the above.
occz wrote:

I'd say at least two hours of productive study a day. Three hours a day would be even better.
If you truly want to be FM, the most efficient path is to take lessons from a titled master.

I belive he said "first category player"--whatever that meant. Not neccesarily master.

Andrew Tang has played in 286 USCF rated events, most of them weren't Blitz tournaments. He has also been coached by IM John Bartholomew. So You can't say that he became a GM just by playing bullet online. Also, Andrew Tang is probably not your ordinary chess player
You do realize I was being sarcastic?
